Ocean Bottle

2.8 Glassdoor

Ocean Bottle is a social impact brand on a mission to stop 7 billion plastic bottles from entering the ocean.We exist because we believe small choices can add up to something powerful. Every Ocean Bottle sold funds the collection of 11.4kg [25lbs] of ocean-bound plastic - that’s the equivalent of 1,000 bottles, stopped before they reach the ocean.This is about more than plastic. It’s about people. Each bottle helps support collectors in coastal communities with fair pay and access to essentials like healthcare, education, and financial security.Together, we’ve already prevented over 2 billion plastic bottles from entering the ocean. And with every bottle, we get one step closer to a cleaner future.This isn’t just a bottle. It’s a movement.
