Our expeditions
Intercepting waste, building sustainable solutions
In Southeast Asia, we deploy collection solutions adapted to local realities to intercept plastic waste in rivers, ports, and bays before it reaches the ocean.
For 3 years, our programmes combine collection, sorting, recycling, waste analysis, and community awareness. Our ambition: to provide local stakeholders with the skills and means to continue the action independently.
Our model
One expedition, 4 stages
The same framework everywhere, for measurable results and action that lasts after our departure.
1
Funding
We only launch an expedition once it is fully funded for 3 years.
2
Partnering
A trusted local partner, authorities, and research, brought together from the start.
3
Acting
Collect, sort, recycle on-site, and raise awareness in schools and communities.
4
Handing over
After 3 years, our local partners continue the mission on their own.
Where we act
3 expeditions,
2 countries
A third one coming soon
Southeast Asia accounts for a large share of the plastic that reaches the ocean. This is where every kg intercepted counts the most.
34,000+ kg
collected during our expeditions
2,000+
students reached in Malaysia and Indonesia
* As of 30.09.2026 (Bali, including clean-ups, and Kota Kinabalu).
