Buy 1, collect 1,000.

Ocean Bottle aims to end plastic pollution in our oceans. With 22 million kgs of plastic entering our oceans every day, it’s estimated that by 2030 the weight of plastic in our oceans will double. But not all hope is lost! Because with every Ocean Bottle you buy, 11.4kg of plastic (the equivalent of over 1,000 plastic bottles) will be collected, sorted, and recycled! Meaning they’ll no longer end up in our oceans.

Their story

Ocean Bottle started with a group of individuals, from a wide variety of different backgrounds and places, who loved the ocean and shared one common goal: wanting to preserve it. They created a system where, through local coastal communities, plastic in rivers and coastal waterways could be collected before it entered the ocean. The collectors then exchange the plastic for money and get access to social resources such as healthcare, education, and financial security.

Now, the Ocean Bottle community spans 88 different countries. They’re empowered, and are adamant this is only the beginning!

Their mission

Ocean Bottle’s mission is to ensure their bottle is the only bottle you’ll ever need. Their goal is to collect 7 billion bottles by 2025, and with your help, they’re sure to achieve it.

Ocean Bottle are making waves in the fight against plastic pollution.
