We often get asked: What happens to the plastic we collect from the ocean? 

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our process:
1️⃣ Collection: Plastic is stored in secure bins during cleanups so it doesn’t blow away.
2️⃣ Weigh-In: Back at HQ, we document the date, location, crew, and vessel, then weigh each bin to track our impact.
3️⃣ Sorting & Cleaning: We sort plastic by type, color, and condition to prep it for recycling.
4️⃣ Recycling: Once we have enough material, it moves on to the next phase of its journey ♻️

Every step matters. Proper processing = real impact. Got more sustainability questions? Drop them below 👇
