We know how complex genuine environmental commitment really is

Ambitious sustainability goals often face practical hurdles in everyday business.

Environmental action is hard to prove

If your environmental contribution cannot be backed by transparent evidence, your commitment risks losing credibility.

Plastic in products & packaging

Consumers are paying closer attention to plastic in products, packaging and supply chains.

ESG remains on paper

Your sustainability goals are in place, but the practical steps needed to achieve and measure them are often missing.

Requirements are increasing

EmpCo, PPWR and other regulations are tightening requirements for sustainability communication. Non-compliance can lead to legal action, significant fines and reputational damage.

Our solution: Certified Plastic Credits

Plastic Credits turn your sustainability goals into concrete action. By financing the removal of plastic waste from rivers and waterways, you create a verifiable environmental contribution.

They can be integrated into existing sustainability strategies with minimal effort and linked directly to products or marketing campaigns. We also keep documentation and communication simple: you receive the relevant data, evidence and marketing content directly from us.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are Plastic Credits?

Plastic Credits allow your company to directly finance the collection and responsible processing of plastic waste while documenting its contribution transparently. One Plastic Credit represents exactly one kilogram of waste removed from rivers and waterways and properly processed. Each Credit is documented individually – from the collection site and weight to further processing. This creates a fully traceable record that allows you to communicate your commitment credibly.

2

How can our company work with everwave?

Your company can directly support everwave’s projects through Plastic Credits. Each Credit represents one kilogram of waste removed from rivers and waterways. A Plastic Credit partnership funds the work behind our long-term cleanup projects – from infrastructure and collection to sorting and responsible processing.

How does everwave remove plastic waste from rivers and waterways?

everwave uses cleanup boats, barriers and manual cleanups to stop waste where it can be intercepted most effectively: in rivers and along their banks. Drones help identify waste hotspots, while AI-powered sensors analyse the collected material. This data helps us determine strategic locations for our operations. The collected waste is then sorted and processed at a Zero Waste Center.

4

Where is everwave active?

everwave is currently active at five locations in Albania and Cambodia. In Cambodia, our teams work on the Mekong in Phnom Penh as well as in Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. In Albania, we operate at Fierza Lake on the Drin and at the Ishmi Delta.

5

Are Plastic Credits certified?

everwave’s Plastic Credits are certified under the independent Ocean Bound Plastic Standard. Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) refers to plastic waste that is highly likely to enter the ocean if it is not collected in time. The standard therefore supports a preventive approach to reducing marine plastic pollution.

Cleanup projects

From Europe to Southeast Asia, our teams remove plastic from rivers and waterways. Our projects are designed for long-term operation, and every collection is documented digitally.
