WHAT & WHO ARE WE RAISING FUNDS FOR

OCEAN RECOVERY ALLIANCE

It is important for us to make a tangible and direct impact that connects us all. Therefore, there are 3 things we focus on when it comes to choosing our entity to support and partner with. "Inspiration, Innovation & Integrity". Our key grassroots environmental charity "Ocean Recovery Alliance" fits the bill just right.

A great place we find inspiration is "ORA" - a unique, annual, global forum that brings social innovators, game-changers, corporations and investors together to focus on practical solutions, circular economy and the future of plastic. For more information regarding the forum and all the great lots of contributions they've done already, please visit plasticity.global.

Here is a long list of "ORA" on-going community programs. To name a few:
