How everwave is saving our oceans

everwave, a Germany-based company, is tackling the global challenge of plastic waste by removing it from rivers and preventing it from reaching the oceans. Founded in December 2018, everwave employs a holistic approach to waste management, using waste collection boats and drones to detect, collect, and analyze waste. Their efforts have already resulted in the collection of over 1.8 million kilograms of waste from rivers in Europe and Asia.

Germany, a leading producer of waste in Europe, exports significant amounts of waste to countries with underdeveloped waste management systems, contributing to environmental pollution. everwave, along with corporate partners, takes responsibility for this exported waste by implementing effective waste collection and recycling strategies. The company also raises public awareness about the importance of responsible waste management and the impact of waste on water ecosystems.

everwave's innovative concept of "Plastic Credits" allows companies to offset their plastic footprint by funding waste collection efforts. This initiative not only gives economic value to collected waste but also promotes the idea of waste as a valuable resource. By setting up new recycling infrastructures and engaging with various stakeholders, everwave aims to create a circular economy and drive sustainable environmental protection.
