At Plastic Ocean Project (POP), we passionately advocate for a cleaner, healthier planet. Our mission is to combat plastic pollution through innovative research, inspiring education and art, and meaningful action through collaboration. Founded on the principle that collective effort can drive profound change, we bridge the gap between science and community engagement to protect and restore our oceans for the health of all life on Earth.
Together, we can make a significant, positive impact on our planet.
What We Do
- Research: Using cutting-edge technology and collaborations with universities and environmental organizations, we uncover the sources, impacts, and solutions to plastic pollution.
- Education: We empower communities through workshops, outreach, and hands-on programs that raise awareness and inspire sustainable practices.
- Action: From coastal cleanups to global initiatives, we engage individuals and businesses to reduce plastic waste and actively adopt ocean-friendly habits.
Why It Matters
Our oceans are the lifeblood of our planet, supplying more than half the oxygen we breathe and supporting countless ecosystems. Yet, the urgency of the situation is stark-millions of tons of plastic enter our waters every year, threatening marine life, human health, and the climate. At POP, we believe in turning the tide against this crisis by transforming how we think about, use, and manage plastic.
