Crowdfunding since 2010

We want to save the seas - we want seas without plastic! For that purpose, we have come up with a revolutionary concept!

Our revolutionary idea: PGS - Pacific Garbage Screening! A floating platform, with special structural properties that allow for the filtering of plastic and plastic particles from the water. The platform functions without the use of nets - fish and other marine life are not endangered. Our aim is not to burn the plastic debris collected, but to use it as a value-adding resource - for example, by converting it into energy or using it to create biodegradable materials.

Auf in die Zielgerade!
Die letzten 6 Tage unseres Crowdfundings haben bereits begonnen. Wir möchten Euch für Eure Unterstützung danken!

Willst du Teil der Lösung sein? Hier einige Tipps und Tricks, die sich leicht in den Alltag integrieren lassen und helfen werden, unseren Planeten zu retten!

Spenden, verschenken oder verkaufen:
Auf Online-Plattformen, Bazaren oder Spendenorganisationen finden sich meistens dankbare Abnehmer für Eure Staubsammler.

Easy Going - Kaffee zum Mitnehmen:
Bring deine eigene Tasse mit! Viele Menschen verwenden bereits wiederverwendbare Wasserflaschen statt PET-Flaschen. Hast du jemals daran gedacht, deine eigene Tasse mit in den Coffee Shop zu nehmen? Ungefähr 300.000 Einwegbecher werden stündlich in Deutschland weggeworfen. Hilf uns, diese Zahl zu reduzieren und deine bring deine eigene Tasse mit!

Wasch dich sauber:
Sei sauber mit sauberen Produkten! Niemand braucht Mikroplastik in Zahnpasta oder Peelings. Das Mikroplastik gelangt in die Kanalisation, Flüsse und schließlich in den Ozean. Achte beim Einkauf mal auf die Inhaltsstoffe! Hier findest du eine Liste von kunststofffreien Produkten: http://www.beatthemicrobead.org/product-lists/

Packt die Früchte aus!:
Viele Lebensmittelgeschäfte bieten unverpacktes Obst und Gemüse an. Wenn du zwischen verpackten und unverpackten Äpfeln entscheiden kannst – triff die richtige Wahl. Du kannst auch deinen eigenen Beutel oder Korb mitbringen, um unnötige Plastiktüten zu vermeiden.

Verzicht ist die beste Nachhaltigkeit:
Brauche ich das wirklich ...? Wenn du dir jedes Mal diese Frage stellst, wirst du feststellen, dass du meistens weder den Schokoriegel noch ein neues Smartphone brauchst. Sei dir deiner Bedürfnisse bewusst und rette den Planeten und dein Geld!

Let's be the wave that saves our oceans!

It’s the final Countdown!
The last 5 days of our Crowdfunding have already begun. We want to thank you for your support!

Do you want to be part of the solution? Here are some tips and tricks you can easily integrate into your daily routine and will help save our planet!

Donate, give away or sell:
You will find grateful takers for your “junk” on online platforms, bazars or donation organizations.

Easy going- Coffee to Go:
Bring your own cup! Many people are already adopting reusable water bottles instead of PET bottles. But, have you ever thought about bringing your own cup to the coffee shop? About 300.000 one-way cups are thrown-away every hour in Germany. Help us to reduce this number and bring your own cup!

Wash yourself clean:
Be clean with clean products! No one needs micro plastic in tooth paste or peeling lotions. The microplastic enters the sewer systems, rivers and finally the ocean. Pay attention while shopping for groceries! You can find a list of plastic free products here:

Unpack your fruits:
Many grocery stores offer unpacked fruits and vegetables. If you can decide between packed and unpacked apples - make the right choice. You can also bring your own bag or basket to avoid unnecessary plastic bags.

Renunciation is the best sustainability:
Do I really need …?By asking yourself this question, you will find that you do not need a new jacket or pair of shoes. Neither the chocolate bar nor a new smartphone. Be conscious about your needs while shopping and save the planet and your money!

Let's be the wave that saves our oceans!
