Six interconnected programs spanning ocean cleanup, circular economy, blockchain transparency, education, community livelihoods, and corporate ESG — all working together to restore the world's waterways.
Our core program deploys patented cleanup vessels and field teams to high-impact plastic hotspots across 47 countries. We target river deltas, coastal zones, and open water — where intervention creates the greatest downstream impact on ocean health.
Every cleanup is GPS-tagged, photographed before and after, weighed by plastic type, and logged on our blockchain ledger. Data is publicly accessible in real time.
Plastic we remove doesn't disappear — it enters certified recycling streams that generate value and fund ongoing cleanup operations. OIG partners with 40+ certified recyclers across 20 countries to process recovered materials responsibly.
Our chain-of-custody system tracks every kilogram from collection through recycling to end product — creating verified plastic credits accepted by leading ESG frameworks.
OIG's proprietary blockchain platform is a first in ocean conservation. Every cleanup is assigned a unique project ID, and collection data is hashed and written to a distributed ledger — creating an immutable, publicly accessible proof-of-impact record.
Sponsors and donors receive QR-verified impact certificates that link directly to on-chain data. This eliminates greenwashing and gives corporate ESG teams audit-ready evidence.
Local people are the backbone of global ocean restoration. OIG's Community Collector Program trains, equips, and fairly compensates residents in coastal and riverine communities — turning environmental action into sustainable livelihoods.
4,200+ active collectors across 28 countries earn above-market wages, receive professional training, and build careers in environmental stewardship. Their collections are verified on-chain, giving each collector a verifiable impact record.
Prevention is the most cost-effective cleanup strategy. OIG's education programs reach students, teachers, and communities at the source — building the knowledge and habits that keep plastic out of waterways in the first place.
Our curriculum is available free to any school globally, in 14 languages. Youth ambassadors lead local cleanup chapters, and teachers can download complete lesson plans aligned to national science standards.
OIG's Corporate ESG Program gives businesses a credible, verifiable path to meeting their plastic reduction and ocean stewardship commitments. We build custom programs — from plastic offset campaigns to employee engagement cleanups to co-branded impact reports.
214 corporate partners currently rely on OIG's blockchain-verified data to substantiate their sustainability claims to investors, regulators, and consumers.
Whether you donate, volunteer, sponsor, or spread the word — you're part of the movement that keeps these programs running and growing.
