Plastic Cleanup FAQ
01.
More than eight million tonnes of plastic reach the oceans yearly, spewed via rivers, dumped along coastlines, or abandoned by fishing vessels. This plastic is negatively impacting the ocean ecosystem and marine life. 80% of ocean plastic comes from around 1500 polluted rivers, and a lot of this plastic becomes garbage patches in the middle of the oceans which are extremely inaccessible.
It’s essential to stop the flow of plastic pollution before it enters the ocean because once it does, it breaks down into microplastics, destabilizing the food chain, acting as a threat to marine diversity, entering the human body, and avoiding the possibility of recycling, which is already quite small.
02.
Our cleanups happen in many countries worldwide, including Brazil, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Mexico, and Nicaragua. If you scroll up, you can find our map with our cleanup locations.
03.
Our partners work on different projects to pick up plastic, such as beach cleanups, and river cleanups. A portion of the recycled plastic can then be turned into packaging through partnerships with brands involved in the circular economy.
04.
We provide detailed information about the impact of your contribution to plastic pickups, including the weight of plastic collected, the number of jobs created, and river cleanup location. You can also access regular reports and updates from our partners on their work and progress.
