Hurricanes, monsoons, and plastic pollution - oh my!
Hurricane season is a fact of life for our Florida crews, just like the rainy season is for our crews in Bali and Java. From September to February, strong offshore winds, torrential downpours, and powerful ocean currents flood Indonesia’s world-famous beaches with absolutely massive amounts of plastic.
During the rainy season, our crews in Bali and Java recover 1.5 times more plastic than they do in the dry season. Overall, materials collected during the rainy season account for 60% of the total trash our Indonesian crews recover each year.
4ocean has recovered over 25 million pounds of trash since 2017 and nearly 15 million of them can be attributed to the dedication and tireless efforts of our crew in Indonesia.
And that’s what you make possible every time you shop 4ocean.
