Ocean bound plastic recovered thanks to Original Penguin

Our CleanHubs span 3 continents and are located in some of the world’s worst plastic pollution hotspots. Currently, more than 2 billion people dispose of their trash in nature because no one collects it. Your support means our global CleanHubs connect people  in coastal communities to waste collection, preventing plastic from ever polluting our environment. The waste collection you support is door-to-door, or directly from beaches or rivers, creating safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

Our Clean Kerala hub works with collection partner, Greens Worms Waste Management to organize door-to-door collection services across southern India, with the help of women empowerment groups.

BETTER MANAGEMENT = LESS PLASTIC POLLUTION

Without access to proper waste management, trash is openly burned, dumped, or piled onto poorly managed landfills - where it can enter the ecosystem and negatively impact the climate.
Waste management systems keep trash from entering the environment and harmful pollutants from leaking into the air.
