Empowering The Ocean Cleanup's Mission
At Wear To Go, we believe in making a positive impact on the world around us. That's why we're proud to partner with The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization dedicated to ridding the world's oceans of plastic waste.
The Ocean Cleanup: A Pioneering Initiative
The Ocean Cleanup was founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, a young Dutch entrepreneur who was inspired to take action after witnessing the devastating effects of plastic pollution during a diving trip. Driven by a passion for the environment, Slat and his team set out to develop innovative technologies that could efficiently and cost-effectively remove plastic from the world's oceans.
Since its inception, The Ocean Cleanup has made significant strides in its mission. In 2019, the organization deployed its first large-scale cleanup system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world. This groundbreaking effort has already removed thousands of kilograms of plastic from the ocean, with plans to scale up operations in the coming years.
Their Mission and Values
The Ocean Cleanup's primary objective is to rid the world's oceans of plastic waste, with the ultimate goal of achieving a plastic-free future. To achieve this, the organization employs a multi-pronged approach, utilizing advanced technologies and data-driven strategies to locate, capture, and recycle plastic debris.
At the heart of The Ocean Cleanup's mission are its core values of innovation, collaboration, and environmental stewardship. The organization is committed to developing cutting-edge solutions that are both effective and environmentally sustainable, working closely with partners and stakeholders to drive meaningful change.
