We inspire people to explore everything the world has to offer.
Our only mandate is that we give more than we take.
For every item sold, we save 229 plastic bottles from the ocean.
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 save 229 plastic bottles from entering the ocean.

The Solgaard Foundation
Established in 2020, the Solgaard Foundation champions the innovation and implementation of sustainable solutions, technologies, and infrastructures engineered to eradicate ocean plastic pollution and combat global environmental threats.
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.
