The Ocean Cleanup

Joining forces with the largest cleanup in history

Trillions of plastic pieces pollute our oceans today, and the amount is expected to double by 2050. As it degrades into microplastics, it devastates ecosystems, poisons the food chain, and causes economic damage worth billions of dollars.

The Ocean Cleanup is a global nonprofit on a mission to rid the world's oceans of plastic by extracting legacy plastic accumulated in ocean gyres and intercepting plastic in the world's most polluted rivers before it reaches the ocean.

As a Global Mission Partner, Societe Generale Foundation has been providing financial support advancing The Ocean Cleanup’s mission – empowering bold environmental progress and driving systemic change.
