WE ARE PREVENTING PLASTIC WASTE FROM ENTERING THE OCEAN.
Our mission is simple:
to PREVENT plastic waste from entering the ocean.
Since our inception in 2015, we have worked to drive recycling systems change, develop alternatives to problematic plastics, and create a mass community of people committed to a utopian future.
Impact is Our Inspiration
Everything we do is quantifiable. We’ve made great progress, but we are not done. Our work and your partnership is more important than ever.
We have trained 2,400 young leaders, ages 8 through 23, across 90 countries and engaged tens of thousands more through the OH-WAKE Media Network.
Eliminated billions of single-use plastics including straws, stirrers and plastic bottles across 100 countries, cities, and companies.
Prevented 257 million water bottles from entering the ocean through 333 products made from ocean-bound plastics.
Our Focus: Persistent Change
SCALING ALTERNATIVES TO PROBLEMATIC PLASTICS
From plastic straws to water bottles to polybags, we are tackling problematic plastics head on. We’re on track to disrupt the 180 billion polybag industry by 2025. Get involved at plasticprize.org.
Creating Community
Embedding youth voices in policy decisions is critical to achieving our shared goal of a utopian future. With community support, we are amplifying the visions, priorities, and solutions of young people worldwide. Learn more about OH-Wake Media at ohwake.org.
