CLEAN OCEAN ENSEMBLE
Clean Ocean Ensemble is a non-profit organization established in 2020 that is dedicated to solving the marine debris problem.
Utilizing proprietary low-cost collection technologies and digital tools, the organization promotes the collection, recycling, and data visualization of marine debris.
Furthermore, through “marine debris collection credits” and sponsorship programs, we aim to collect corporate and individual support for sustainable resource recycling.
Based in Japan and in partnership with other parts of the world, we are creating a future that balances environmental conservation and economic development.
VISION
The World of Zero Marine Debris
We are engaged in various activities to minimize the impact of marine debris and to leave a beautiful and abundant ocean for future generations. This vision envisions a future that can be realized not only by us, but also by working together with society, including you, to protect the marine environment and build a sustainable society. We will continue to move forward, one step at a time, to achieve zero marine debris.
MISSION
Develop innovative technologies, advance business bases, and create a system that reduce marine waste and support long-term, sustainable use of ocean.
VALUE
Break through
Work as a team
Respect science, try new technology
Hand down great inventions to future generations
MESSAGE
Once spilled, marine plastic litter cannot be decomposed semi-permanently and must be collected.
In order to solve the marine debris problem, we need to
– Increase the amount of plastic collected at beach cleanups,
– Developing methods to collect marine debris in places where it has been left unattended (under cliffs and on the ocean floor),
– Increase the amount of recovered marine debris for reuse,
– Reduce the discharge of new marine debris,
We believe it is important to continue these efforts in a sustainable manner.
In this context, we are focusing on the development of technologies to recover marine debris that has been left unattended. With this challenge at the core, we are trying to increase collaboration and create a community that transcends the boundaries of disciplines. The marine litter problem cannot be solved by the current economic system. We need to build a new sustainable business model and change the entire social structure.
We need more people to feel the marine debris problem as their own. We want to change the future prediction that the amount of marine debris will increase more than that of fish. Clean Ocean Ensemble’s activities require your support, cooperation, and donations. Please support us so that we can leave a clean ocean for future generations.
