Ocean Plastics

Written by Oceanographic Staff

Operating in 12 locations across three countries worldwide, including the USA, Guatemala, and Indonesia, 4ocean has become one of the leading ocean cleanup company dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis.

"4ocean is incredibly proud to have accomplished this record-setting feat," said Alex Schulze, 4ocean CEO and co-founder. He adds: "We've built an entire business for the sole purpose of cleaning the ocean. With hundreds of local captains and crew members recovering trash from our oceans and coastlines seven days a week and the support of millions of people doing their part to prevent plastic pollution, I'm sure our work will have a lasting impact on the ocean."

Schulze made the announcement after the 4ocean TrashTracker, a proprietary database used to document the company's recovered materials from recovery through their entire supply chain, was independently audited and verified by GreenCircle Certified, an internationally recognised third-party certification entity whose thorough evaluation process provides independent verification that sustainability claims related to an organisation's products and operations are honest, valid, and verified.

The world has produced an estimated 18.3 trillion pounds of plastic since the 1950s; less than 10% of it has been recycled while 79% accumulates in the environment. Global plastic production is expected to triple by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum, which means an increase in the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment.

But plastic pollution isn't just an environmental issue; it also threatens the global economy and global food security. Ocean-based industries like fishing and tourism employ billions of people; the blue economy also contributes several trillion dollars of goods and services to the global economy every year. More than 3 billion get their primary source of protein from seafood.

According to Schulze, "plastic pollution disproportionately impacts poor and marginalized communities around the world. That's why it's important to us that our operations have a direct impact on the people and places most impacted by plastic pollution."

He adds: "All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets are handcrafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet purchased funds our cleanups and creates jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now."

While 4ocean's cleanup operations are funded primarily through their product sales, the company recently introduced new programmes that have helped accelerate their progress and maximise their impact.

In 2021, 4ocean introduced its multifaceted Corporate Partnerships Program, which works with companies to offset their plastic usage and aid in waterway cleanup efforts around the globe. Brands who have received 4ocean Plastic Neutral Certification and/or become Certified Cleanup Partners include John Frieda, Mount Gay Rum, Nature Gnaws, and U.S. Polo Assn.

"There's no way we could do this on our own," said Ryan Dick, 4ocean partnerships marketing manager. "By partnering with other environmentally-conscious brands, we've managed to offset hundreds of thousands of pounds of plastic and committed funding to remove millions more. But this crisis won't be solved by cleanups alone."

"Waste is ultimately a design flaw, which means preventing plastic pollution starts with changing the way we design, produce, market, consume, and dispose of the products we use each and every day. Our partnership program isn't the final solution to plastic pollution, but a critical stepping stone on the path to a more sustainable future," he explains.

On World Oceans Day (June 8, 2023), 4ocean also announceda new partnership with Corona Internationalthat seeks to reduce plastic pollution in our oceans by moving collection efforts upstream into highly polluted rivers like the Rio Motagua in Guatemala. One of the most polluted rivers in Central America, the Motagua River accounts for roughly 2% of all the plastic waste entering our oceans each year.

The ive-year project, called "A River of Change from Corona x 4ocean," will help restore natural ecosystems and biodiversity; create full-time, living-wage jobs for people who are directly impacted by plastic pollution in the river and surrounding areas; and build infrastructures for lasting change.

"When they say a small group of dedicated people can change the world, believe them," says Schulze. "Reaching 30 million pounds of plastic and trash removed from the oceans is just the first step. We still have a lot of work to do."

How To Clean Up The World’s Most Polluted Rivers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The ocean is turning into a plastic soup.

Most plastic pollution at sea starts out on land as litter on beaches, streets and sidewalks. Rain or overwatering flushes that litter through a storm drain system or directly to creeks, streams and rivers that lead to the ocean. After plastics enter the marine environment they slowly photodegrade into smaller pieces that marine life can mistake for food, sometimes with fatal results. Ocean gyres concentrate plastic pollution in five main areas of the world's ocean and various research groups are bringing back alarming data documenting plastics impacts.

Simple local actions can help make an impact to solve this global issue. Join us in protecting the coast and Rise Above Plastics! Check out the resources on these 'RAP' program pages, then get involved with your local Surfrider Foundation Chapter to help protect the coasts and oceans.

Plastic-it's all around us.

It's in our homes, our offices, our vehicles, our yards, our playgrounds. We use it to package food, bottle products, bag produce, make dinnerware and utensils, make toys....

Plastics have undoubtedly helped us to manufacture, package and ship goods more easily, for less money, and in some cases more safely than ever before.

But, plastics pose a significant threat to our planet as well.

Part of the problem is plastic itself. The very qualities that make it an adaptable and durable product to use, also make plastic an environmental nightmare. You see, plastics do not biodegrade. Instead they photodegrade - breaking down under exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, into smaller and smaller pieces.

Bottom line: with the exception of the small amount that has been incinerated, virtually every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists in some shape or form.

Rise Above Plastics Mission

To reduce the impacts of plastics in the marine environment by raising awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution and by advocating for a reduction of single-use plastics and the recycling of all plastics.

Rise Above Plastic Grassroots Goals

We encourage YOU to help address these globlal issues locally with plastic reductions at home, school, work and for your entire community:

1. Connect with Rise Above Plastics by attending a Surfrider Foundation Chapter meeting or following 'RAP' on Facebook / Twitter.

2. Get involved with your local chapter and/or spread the word to friends and family about the problems with plastics.

3. Be a leader and have the biggest impact by directing a plastic reduction program at school/work or a plastic reduction ordinance with you local city council.

Check out the Rise Above Plastics Activist Toolkit under the 'Resources' tab for detailed tips and ideas.

Ten Ways To Rise Above Plastics

Here are ten easy things you can do to reduce your 'plastic footprint' and help keep plastics out of the marine environment:

1. Choose to reuse when it comes to shopping bags and bottled water. Cloth bags and metal or glass reusable bottles are available locally at great prices.

2. Refuse single-serving packaging, excess packaging, straws and other 'disposable' plastics. Carry reusable utensils in your purse, backpack or car to use at bbq's, potlucks or take-out restaurants.

3. Reduce everyday plastics such as sandwich bags and juice cartons by replacing them with a reusable lunch bag/box that includes a thermos.

4. Bring your to-go mug with you to the coffee shop, smoothie shop or restaurants that let you use them. A great way to reduce lids, plastic cups and/or plastic-lined cups.

5. Go digital! No need for plastic cds, dvds and jewel cases when you can buy your music and videos online.

6. Seek out alternatives to the plastic items that you rely on.

7. Recycle. If you must use plastic, try to choose #1 (PETE) or #2 (HDPE), which are the most commonly recycled plastics. Avoid plastic bags and polystyrene foam as both typically have very low recycling rates.

8. Volunteer at a beach cleanup. Surfrider Foundation Chapters often hold cleanups monthly or more frequently.

9. Support plastic bag bans, polystyrene foam bans and bottle recycling bills.

10. Spread the word. Talk to your family and friends about why it is important to Rise Above Plastics!

Rise Above Plastics Activist Toolkit

Help reduce plastic waste in your community with the Rise Above Plastics Activist Toolkit! This is a step by step guide to creating positive change in your community through reducing single-use plastics. The RAP Toolkit is focused on establishing a plastic bag ban or similar ordinance and it also offers insight on increasing awareness of plastic pollution issues through education and outreach.

RAP Facts

The amount of plastic produced from 2000 - 2010 exceeds the amount produced during the entire last century.[1]

Plastic is the most common type of marine litter worldwide.[2], [3]

Up to 80% of the plastic in our oceans comes from land-based sources. [4], [5], [6]

Plastics comprise up to 90% of floating marine debris.[7]

In 2010 about 690,000 tons of waste HDPE plastic "bags, sacks and wraps" were generated in the United States, but only 4.3% of this total was recycled.[8]

Plastics do not biodegrade, but instead break down into small particles that persist in the ocean, absorb toxins, and enter our food chain through fish, sea birds and other marine life.[9]

Plastic bags are problematic in the litter stream because they float easily in the air and water, traveling long distances and never fully breaking down in water.

Cleanup of plastic bags is costly. California spends $25 million annually to landfill discarded plastic bags, and public agencies spend more than $300 million annually in litter cleanup. [10], [11]

It is estimated that Americans go through about 100 billion plastic bags a year, or 360 bags per year for every man, woman and child in the country.[12]

See even more RAP Facts here.

Statewide Preemption

There is a trend happening in the United States that halts local ordinances to address plastic pollution through a mechanism called "preemption", which is effectively when the state government takes the power to regulate on a certain area away from the local municipalities. Over 10 states have already preempted local regulation of single-use bags and/or expanded polystyrene foam and other plastic pollution. However, there are ways to defend local rule and the right to a cleaner community. Find out more here.

Ocean Friendly Restaurants

Surfrider Foundation has launched a new program to recognize restaurants that employ practices friendly to our ocean and coasts. A main goal is eliminating EPS foam foodware (aka Styrofoam) because it is a top item found at our beach cleanups. There are other types of pollution and issues that restaurants can help with so we added criteria such as conserving water and serving responsible food. To learn more please visit our Ocean Friendly Restaurants website.

Hold On To Your Butt

Surfrider Foundation's Hold On To Your Butt program aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of cigarette butt litter on our ocean, waves and beaches, and to help eliminate cigarette butt litter at the beach and in the ocean. Cigarette butts account for approximately one in every five items collected during beach cleanups. Often littered on our sidewalks and streets, they end up in our storm drains, flowing to our streams, rivers, bays, lagoons and ultimately the ocean. To learn more please visit our Beachapedia page.

Campaigns are a key strategy Surfrider uses to protect our ocean, waves and beaches.

They are how we protect our special coastal places, ensure our ocean is healthy and wild, keep pollution out of the water and make sure every beach is clean and accessible for all to enjoy. When we win a campaign, it's called a victory. Surfrider defines a victory as a decision by a governing body that protects the coastal and ocean environment, improves coastal access, or both.

Mr. Trash Wheel (2016)

Mr. Trash Wheel

Mr. Trash Wheel is a trash interceptor that removes trash from the Jones Falls river as it empties into the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. It is powered by a water wheel and solar cells, and rakes trash from the harbor onto an onboard conveyor belt which routes it into a dumpster on the vessel. Mr. Trash Wheel was invented by John Kellett in 2008, who launched a pilot vessel at that time. A larger vessel was later developed; it replaced the pilot vessel and was launched in May 2014. The Mr. Trash Wheel vessel is part of the Waterfront Partnership of the City of Baltimore's "Healthy Harbor Initiative".

Solar panels are mounted atop the roof of Mr. Trash Wheel.

Mr. Trash Wheel is a moored vessel that removes trash from the mouth of the Jones Falls stream at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Rubbish from the streets of Baltimore flushes into storm drains that empty into Jones Falls. The floating rubbish is then carried by the river to its outlet into the Inner Harbor, where it is captured by Mr. Trash Wheel. The water wheel can be controlled remotely on the Internet. Mr. Trash Wheel was constructed using $720,000 of public and private funding.

Step 1: Trash is funneled into the mouth of the wheel using containment booms, which have a 2-foot skirt, allowing trash to collect from below the surface.

Step 2: Mr. Trash Wheel rakes litter onto the conveyor belt using rotating forks that dip into and out of the water. Though the conveyor belt is slow, it can lift heavy objects (tires, mattresses, even trees).

Step 3: The 14-foot wheel powers the rake and conveyor belt, even if the vessel is moving upstream. If Mr. Trash wheel does not have enough power from the current, solar panels are used to pump water onto the wheel.

Step 4: Trash at the top of the conveyor belt falls into a dumpster on a floating barge, which is periodically emptied.

Mr. Trash Wheel at night

Mr. Trash Wheel was invented by John Kellett, who developed the idea when observing trash in the harbor while passing Pier 6 on his walk to work. A pilot trash wheel was built and launched in the harbor by Kellett in 2008. Kellett then built a larger machine, launched in May 2014, which was able to pick up larger matter and held two dumpsters onboard. The use of two dumpsters allows the vessel to operate longer without having to go back to shore to empty the single dumpster that was used on the initial pilot vessel.

On April 20, 2015, after the first significant rain storm of the season, Mr. Trash Wheel removed 19 tons of garbage from Baltimore's waterfront on that one day. The previous record for debris removal occurred on May 16, 2014, when the machine removed 11 tons. At the end of the third quarter in 2016 (September 30), it was noted that Mr. Trash Wheel had collected over 1,000,000 pounds (500 short tons) of trash since its inception.

Mr. Trash Wheel is part of the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore's "Healthy Harbor Initiative", which was started with a goal to clean up the harbor to the point of making it swimmable by the year 2020. In 2015, the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore began fundraising efforts to construct a second water wheel like Mr. Trash Wheel for use "off the Boston Street Pier Park" at the Harris Creek outfall in Canton, Baltimore. This second trash wheel has been given the name "Professor Trash Wheel". As of 2023, the trash wheel family had collected 2,362 tons of trash.

Adam Lindquist, Vice President of the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore and leader of the Healthy Harbor Initiative, approached What Works Studio, a marketing agency based in Baltimore and San Diego, to leverage the popularity of a video of the device in 2015. What Works Studio creative strategist Justin Allen was immediately struck with the organic look of the device and suggested personifying it with googly eyes and giving it a name. Several names were suggested by the What Works Studio staff, but Mr. Trash Wheel is the one that stuck. What Works Studio suggested using Twitter as the primary channel for communication, and Mr. Trash Wheel started gaining a following under the management of multiple What Works Studio staff. At this point, the googly eyes existed only on images of the trash wheel. The first set of physical eyes, handmade by Lindquist in his spare time, were removed after a brief period. In March 2016, Key Tech, a Baltimore-based technology solutions company, donated a more robust pair of permanent eyes.

In 2023, a 15-minute documentary was created by the Rivers are Life media company to educate viewers about Mr. Trash Wheel and the Baltimore water wheel family.

The Trash Wheel Fan Fest is a yearly festival held to celebrate Mr. Trash Wheel, generating unique works of fan art.

Several additional trash wheels have been produced since the success of the original. Four of them in the Baltimore Harbor and there are plans for one on the West Coast and one in Central America. Working with Kellett, Panamanian officials were able to secure a grant to place a trash wheel in Panama City.

Like Mr. Trash Wheel, the others deployed so far have also been anthropomorphized:

Professor Trash Wheel, the Canton-based wheel, is visually distinguishable from the others by her green googly eyes with lashes, and was commissioned in December 2016;

Captain Trash Wheel has brown irises. It was installed in June 2018 at Brooklyn.

Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West was installed at the mouth of the Gwynns Falls in June 2021, and has purple eyes and lashes. The largest of the four wheels, she picks up more trash and debris than the three other wheels combined. In 2022, Gwynnda was officially sponsored by SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change for one year.
