We’re cleaning out our inventory so we can do more to clean the ocean

WHY

A sale with a purpose

If you know anything about 4ocean, you know that we’ll do whatever it takes to recover harmful marine debris. Usually that means spending hours climbing through mangrove swamps to recover ocean plastic and tracking huge trash gyres for days on end, and now, that means clearing some inventory so we can pull more pounds.

Now, you have to understand that our entire global ocean cleanup operation is funded purely by our products, which is why we usually shy away from running sales. However, we’re making some big moves to expand our existing cleanup operations and open brand new locations. This means we need to hire more cleanup crews, invest in more recovery vessels, and stock up on the tools and equipment our professionals need to do their jobs safely and efficiently.

But we can’t do all of this alone.

CLEANUP STRATEGIES

How do we recover ocean plastic?

PEOPLE

The best way to recover plastic is by using our own two hands, fishing nets, or other tools.

VESSELS

Having the right vessel is extremely important because each ecosystem is unique.

BOOM SYSTEMS

We often leverage boom systems to stop plastic before it can get into the ocean.

SKIMMERS

Developing clean ocean technologies improves our cleaning efficiency.

TRACKING POUNDS

Every pound pulled is documented and tracked

We take our cleanup operations seriously and always go the extra mile to ensure our crews are maximizing their impact. That’s why we document and track each and every pound of trash we recover.

We’ve outlined the entire process so you can see exactly what steps our captains and crews take to document the trash they recover during each cleanup mission. The entire process is audited and verified quarterly by the Better Business Bureau.

STEP 1:

A photo is taken of the crew that will be cleaning that day.

STEP 2:

The plastic-polluted area that our crew will clean is photographed before any cleaning takes place.

STEP 3:

Photos are taken of the crew throughout the cleanup.

STEP 4:

Photos of the area are taken once the cleanup is complete.

STEP 5:

All of the recovered plastic and debris is placed into small sacks for documentation and transport.

STEP 6:

Each bag is individually weighed and documented on a TrashTracker™ Documentation Sheet.

STEP 7:

The TrashTracker™ Documentation Sheet includes all of the information from the cleanup, including the date, location, duration, crew members, individual weights of each bag, total weight for the day, and the signatures of the recorder and location manager.

Step 8:

The plastic-filled sacks are picked up by our collection crew and transported back to our regional facility where all data is uploaded into our digital TrashTracker™.

PROCESSING PLASTIC

What do we do with the plastic we recover?


Once the plastic is collected by our captains and crews, it’s weighed, photographed, and logged into our TrashTracker™ before it’s transported to our regional operational bases.

At each base, the plastic is sorted by type, color, and condition before it’s sent to our recycling partners for washing, flaking and pelletizing. These pellets are what we use to manufacture new and existing 4ocean products.

While recycling is our highest priority, there are certain materials that are too contaminated, deteriorated, or economically not feasible to recycle in certain countries. We partner with various local facilities to find the most sustainable method of disposal for those materials.

After all other methods of recycling are exhausted, we are sometimes forced to dispose of the materials through thermal treatment, which is the conversion of trash to electricity, or by responsibly landfilling the materials.

We know times are tough for everyone right now, so if you’re unable to pull a pound today, we sure would appreciate it if you could share this page on social media with folks who might be able to do so.
