  • Act with the same mindset

    • “Plastics are one of the largest threats our oceans face today. At the same time, it’s also very solvable.”
      Boyan Slat
      (Founder & CEO of The Ocean Cleanup)
    • “We can reach more people together, the largest cleanup in history.”
      Nisha Bakker
      (Partnership Director of The Ocean Cleanup)
    • “We are going to co-create value out of the plastic from the ocean together.”
      Kaoru Kumasegaw
      (Head of Kia Brand Strategy Group)

    • Why we need to act

      Currently, over 50 trillion pieces of plastic are in the ocean. They float around and end up forming garbage patches. (UNESCO, 2022)

    • How to create value

      Only 9% of plastic waste is recycled worldwide. The rest is either incinerated or ends up in our oceans and environment. (OECD, 2022)
