Cleaning The Ocean is our Business
We’re on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis
4ocean was founded on the belief that business can be a force for good and that the single actions of individual people, collectively, have the power to change the world. As both a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp, we’re committed to ending the ocean plastic crisis.
Our approach
We understand that plastic recovery is a mitigation effort and not a final solution to the ocean plastic crisis. Plastic pollution is a global problem that requires collaboration between governments, institutions, businesses, and citizens to solve.
That’s why we also work to educate the global community about plastic pollution, empower people to end their reliance on single-use plastic, and advocate for government incentives and business innovation that support the creation and growth of a sustainable circular economy.
Join us as we work alongside the global community to build a future where humanity grows alongside nature and not at its expense.
