Donations

Support the cleanup

We are now looking to bridge the funding from System 001 to scale-up. With your help we can continue our research, improve our system and accelerate the largest cleanup in history.

If you are interested in funding your own cleanup system or making a large contribution, please contact us through funding@theoceancleanup.com.
