Plastic Free Planet
Plastic Free Planet is a nonprofit organization that fights against pollution of the oceans. Their mission is to remove, recycle and avoid plastic. There are over 150 employees in Southeast Asia and Africa who remove plastic waste out of the ocean with their hands. Later it is picked up by the recycling companies and taken to a larger collection point. There it is sorted again and in the end used for new products such as chairs etc.
„3 meals a day, sending children to school, electricity, a visit to the dentist - these are just a few examples of what our employees really want - and thanks to your help and our activities, they can now achieve it. All of our employees abroad are paid above average. In the countries where it is possible for us, the employees have social insurance.“

Sustainable Coastlines Hawai‘i
Sustainable Coastlines Hawai‘i is a nonprofit organization that organizes beach cleanups, coordinates educational programs and helps to host zero waste or sustainable events.

Since then with the help of more than 35.000 volunteer SCH has removed more than 500.000 pounds of plastic from Hawaii’s coastlines. That already inspired better consumer behavior all over the world. Educators of SCH focus on defining marine debris, where it comes from, how it affects wildlife and people, and most importantly: what we can do about it.
„After spending a couple of hours doing the hard work with the SCH crew, we know that you will never look at plastic the same.“
