Our goal is to return the beach to a healthy state where wildlife, locals and tourists alike can enjoy it once more.
On a weekly base Ocean the ocean is organising a Beach cleanup event op Papagarang Island in the Komodo National Park in Indonesia. Every Friday local Ocean employees and ocean loving locals get together to clean up the various beaches on Papagarang Island and the surrounding uninhabited islands. If you like to join these cleanup events, please don’t hesitate and contact us!

Cleanup Racha Noi, Thailand
In 2020, we organised an ambitious Beach clean up at, what’s known to Phuket locals as, ‘Plastic Island’.
Tucked away in a quiet corner on the breathtaking island of Racha Noi near Phuket lies what locals call ‘Plastic Island’: one of the most plastic-polluted beaches in all of Thailand.
A 120-large crew of passionate ocean lovers gathered to pick up the plastic waste and bring the beach back to its former glory. All the waste was seperated, counted and weighed before being transported to a certified recycling factory in Bangkok. Here, all the recycable plastic waste was converted into plastic flakes.
Cleanup Coral Island Thailand
Take a trip to Phuket’s neighbour, Coral Island, and you’ll likely be greeted with pristine white-sand beaches, crystal clear water, snorkelling and whole lot of lounging in the sun. But walk just around the corner from the popular tourist beaches, and it’s a completely different story: once-white sands now covered in plastic waste for miles.With that, we organised a crew of 50+ supporters in February 2020 for a truly rewarding cleanup day – clearing 120 bags of waste in total, and delivering it to our partner recycling facility in Bangkok so it could be reused sustainably.
World Cleanup Day 2020
As a proud sponsor of World Cleanup Day for two years running, with the help of our passionate supporters we were able to register 300 volunteers to pick up almost 1250 pieces of plastic rubbish from beaches and waterways around the world, logging it all on the Litterati app along the way and ultimately, doing our bit to end the plastic soup in one of the most challenging years to date.
2020 was the year that many operations ground to a halt. Fortunately, World Cleanup Day carried on.
World Cleanup Day 2019
Our first ever supporter drive for World Cleanup Day was hailed a great success in the fight against ocean plastics.
