A new digital community experience will reward people for cleaning their local environments while enabling transparent, verifiable tracking of ocean-bound plastic removal.
BOCA RATON, Fla., December 9, 2025 — 4ocean, the global ocean cleanup company, has partnered with VeChain, the world’s leading enterprise-grade blockchain platform, to launch a groundbreaking digital cleanup campaign through the Cleanify platform.
This new initiative gives people everywhere the ability to log their cleanups, track their verified impact, and earn exclusive 4ocean and VeBetter rewards — all powered by VeChain’s transparent, blockchain-based verification system.
The program introduces a first-of-its-kind, community-driven model that rewards real environmental action. Users can join the official 4ocean community on Cleanify, complete cleanup actions from anywhere — beaches, parks, rivers, or their own backyard — and earn 4ocean bracelets made from recovered ocean plastic as well as VeBetter tokens.
A New Era of Verified Environmental Action
The 4ocean x VeChain x Cleanify experience empowers individuals to contribute to ocean cleanup efforts through simple, trackable actions. Using VeChain’s blockchain technology, each cleanup logged in the platform is verified, timestamped, and recorded on a secure ledger, ensuring transparency and accountability at every step.
This level of verification allows both organizations to establish a new standard for credible, data-backed environmental impact, helping participants see the measurable difference their actions make.
How the Campaign Works
- Join the official 4ocean community clan on Cleanify
- Share your referral code and bring a friend onboard — one Premium 4ocean bracelet per individual is unlocked when a referral completes a cleanup or daily action.*
- Complete 3 actions or cleanups to earn a Signature 4ocean bracelet and celebrate your progress*
Bracelet rewards available to U.S. participants only. Exact bracelet style may vary. Inventory limited; rewards fulfilled by 4ocean while supplies last.
This reward structure encourages continued participation while celebrating early champions of the movement.
Why It Matters
Plastic pollution remains one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. While 4ocean’s global cleanup crews work daily to remove trash from the ocean, rivers, and coastlines, the new Cleanify partnership gives everyday individuals the chance to participate in a meaningful and measurable way.
By connecting verified community cleanups with blockchain transparency, VeChain and 4ocean are creating a modern, scalable model for environmental stewardship — one that blends digital tools with real-world impact.
“This partnership takes everything we’ve learned about mobilizing global cleanup action and puts it directly into the hands of the community,” said Alex Schulze, Co-Founder and CEO of 4ocean. “With VeChain’s technology powering the verification layer, users can confidently see the impact they’re making and get rewarded for it. It’s a major step forward in our mission to end the ocean plastic crisis.”
VeChain’s Role in Scaling Transparency
VeChain’s blockchain technology plays a critical role in ensuring that every cleanup logged through Cleanify is authenticated. This not only helps build trust in the impact data but unlocks new potential for corporate partners, environmental organizations, and individuals who want to see verified proof of their contribution.
“Sustainability and transparency go hand in hand” said Sunny Lu, CEO of VeChain, “but to prove truth in data, you need blockchain. By partnering with 4ocean, we are using blockchain in a way that empowers real, grassroots environmental action, rewarding people for their impact. People can track their efforts in a verifiable way, which strengthens accountability and inspires continued participation.”
