For every product purchased, 4ocean will pull out one pound of trash from oceans around the world. Mainly focusing on bracelets, their original product, each item has an environmentally and socially responsible supply chain and is designed with an oceans-first mentality. They have teams collecting ocean plastic in Bali, Florida, Haiti, and Guatemala, where they provide meaningful employment for local people and involve the communities in their cleanup and education efforts. Their captains and crews use innovative technologies and traditional methods to do whatever it takes to remove harmful debris from the water.
Since 2017, they have recovered over 8 million pounds of trash from the ocean!
Through 1% for the Planet, 4ocean has given back to nonprofits who share their same commitment to the ocean and marine life, such as Lonely Whale, Coral Restoration, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Ocean Conservancy, and Project AWARE.
On top of pulling millions of pounds of trash from the oceans, they also conduct outreach and education programs all over the world to help prevent trash from reaching the ocean in the first place. By providing lesson plans to educators and hosting regional beach cleanups and events, they are committed to their mission of inspiring action through the sharing of knowledge.
