Check out some of the tools and equipment 4ocean Guatemala uses to maximize our impact!
Over the last couple weeks, we’ve explored the causes of plastic pollution in this region, shared our cleanup strategy, and taken you behind the scenes of our facility in Puerto Barrios.
Now, we want to show you all of the tools and equipment we’ve invested in to keep our Guatemala crews safe and maximize our impact.
In these images, you'll see the Panga boats, fishing nets, and super sacks that our crews used to collect trash.
You'll also see the platform barge we use to transport the super sacks full of trash collected by crews in our satellite locations to our base in Puerto Barrios where it’s processed. The barge measures 15x50 feet and can carry up to 20,000 pounds of trash; that’s 200+ super sacks! The barge runs weekly and alternates between our satellite locations in El Quetzalito and San Francisco del Mar.

Remember: this is what you make possible every time you shop 4ocean and pull a pound of trash!
