Let us start with the controversy and get that out of the way…

Many of the products and services that we represent on this site are real companies, out to make a profit, perhaps with investors. That is in contrast to the charities, or non-profit organizations.

4Ocean is a retail and marketing company, not a charity, but they have done more to raise awareness about microplastics in our ocean than any other company.

  • Every product that they sell funds the removal of at least one pound of plastic waste from our oceans
  • The majority of the products that they sell are made from or consist of recycled materials
  • Though they recycle plastics from the oceans, it is not necessarily those plastics that are used in their products – think of it as a plastic offset
  • 4Ocean started out only making bracelets, but they now make a whole range of products that use recycled plastic including fashion, household and single use plastic alternatives.
