What makes 4ocean different from other cleanup organizations?Updated 9 months ago

4ocean is a company that hires full-time captains and crews to recover plastic waste and other man-made debris from the world’s oceans, rivers, and coastlines

We’re one of the only companies in the world that directly hires staff to clean the ocean 7 days a week, 365 days a year

We have direct oversight of all cleanup operations and do not use volunteers or third parties

All of our captains and crews are full-time employees who receive a fair living wage, healthcare, and additional benefits

Because we hire our crews directly, we’re able to set ethical operating standards, establish proactive safety measures, enforce strict safety guidelines, and ensure that every member of our crew is of legal working age.

Our crews specialize in recovering plastic waste directly from the ocean as well as rivers and coastlines where plastic is at a high risk of entering the ocean

Our crews recover all types of plastic waste and man-made debris from the environment including metal, glass, rubber, electronics, etc.

Our crews follow a strict documentation process that allows us to trace the origins and handling of each and every pound of trash we recover

All of our cleanups are certified through on-site visits and data audits conducted by trusted third parties like GreenCircle Certified and the Better Business Bureau to ensure we’re maintaining the highest degree of transparency, accuracy, and accountability
