30 million kgs of plastic enters our ocean every day. That’s one truckload every minute. Ocean Bottle enables anyone who gives a damn about our Oceans the opportunity to turn the tap off Ocean plastic. Each Ocean Bottle sold funds collection of 1000 plastic bottles in weight, whilst setting up recycling infrastructure in coastal communities with high levels of plastic pollution around the world. Plastic collectors are able to exchange plastic for money or digital tokens to spend on tuition, tech goods, health care and micro-finance, earning up to 3x the market rates in the process. To date, we've funded the collection of over 3.2 Million kilograms of plastic from entering the Ocean.
