Stopping the flow of plastic

80% of ocean plastic comes from rivers - let's stop it before it's in the deep sea.

Our First Task

For every item sold, we clean up 6 lbs of ocean-bound plastic from coastal communities.

Solgaard Foundation x Ocean Plastic Filter

Currently in conceptual phase, the Ocean Plastic Filter is a mass-scale waste removal infrastructure seeking to eliminate three billion pounds of river- generated ocean plastic annually, making it the world’s largest waste collection system under development to-date.

Proposed for initial implementation in the most polluting river in the world, the Yangtze River in China, The Ocean Plastic Filter has the potential to eliminate 20-40% of plastic waste from polluting our ocean.

Our ocean plastic cleanup initiatives

We've partnered with different groups in The Philippines, Indonesia, and China who work with local teams in creating jobs for communities to collect ocean-bound plastic that can be upcycled into useful goods.
