At Wave Browser, we believe technology should do more than connect people—it should connect to a purpose. That’s why we’re proud to partner with 4ocean, a globally recognized leader in ocean cleanup.
While many brands talk about sustainability, 4ocean turns awareness into measurable impact by removing trash and plastic waste directly from ocean, rivers, and coastlines. Through this partnership, every time someone uses Wave, they help fund real cleanups—pound by pound, piece by piece.
This collaboration is more than a gesture. It’s part of our long-term commitment to fight ocean pollution, support marine conservation, and be part of the solution every single day. Together, we’re proving that digital action can lead to physical results—and that browsing the web can help save the ocean.
Because at Wave, we don’t just make your tabs count. We make your impact count, too. We're committed to removing 300,000 pounds of trash and plastic from the ocean by 2028, and we've already cleared over 40,000 pounds. You can join the movement by downloading Wave today and turning every browse into real-world cleanup.
What is 4ocean and What Are Its Main Missions?
Founded in Boca Raton, Florida by Alex Schulze and Andrew Cooper, 4ocean is a certified B Corp on a mission to end the ocean plastic and trash crisis. Their unique business model funds cleanups through product sales and corporate partnerships, empowering people to make direct impact with every purchase—or in our case, with every browser tab.
Our partnership aims to turn everyday browsing into real-world impact. Together, we’re helping remove trash and plastic waste, protect biodiversity, and restore marine ecosystems—transforming your online activity into meaningful action for a cleaner, healthier planet.
How 4ocean Operates
Since 2017, 4ocean’s professional cleanup crews—operating in hotspots like operating in hotspots like Indonesia, Dominican Republic, and across the United States—have pulled millions of pounds of trash from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines. Here's how they operate:
- Certified Cleanup Partners: All removals are carried out by trusted, verified teams, ensuring every pound of plastic and trash is documented and makes a measurable impact.
- Coastal Communities First: Local crews are hired directly, supporting economic opportunity while helping restore ecosystems in some of the world’s most affected coastal regions.
- Transparency: Detailed reports show exactly how much ocean plastic and trash is removed, where it’s collected, and how—offering complete visibility into every cleanup effort.
4ocean provides radical transparency, publishing exact removal data and showing how collective support leads to cleaner ocean.
By working hand-in-hand with coastal communities, they ensure that cleanups not only remove ocean plastic and trash, but also provide jobs, education, and momentum in the global fight against the ocean pollution.
Florida Leads the Way: First Beach Cleanup with 4ocean
To kick off our partnership with 4ocean, Wave Browser launched its first beach cleanup on the shores of Miami Beach, Florida—a symbolic and strategic starting point for a mission that spans the globe.
As the home base of 4ocean and one of the country’s most iconic coastal regions, Florida set the tone for a new kind of collaboration: one that transforms everyday browsing into real-world environmental action.
Together, we picked up 394.2 pounds of litter from the coastline—helping reduce pollution, restore fragile ecosystems, and reaffirm our commitment to cleaner ocean.
The Bigger Picture: Protecting Every Coastline We Can
Ocean pollution is a global issue, and plastic and trash doesn’t respect borders. Whether it ends up in the Great Lakes, rivers, or on tropical coastlines, it harms wildlife, threatens livelihoods, and destroys fragile ecosystems.
That’s why our partnership with 4ocean matters. It brings together Wave Browser’s digital reach and 4ocean’s real-world operations to make a difference where it counts.
What This Means for Wave Users: Everyday Browsing, Real Sustainability
Every time you use Wave Browser, you support our mission to fund cleaner ocean. This isn’t a marketing campaign— it’s a measurable, ongoing effort to remove plastic, clean up trash, and prevent further harm. With 4ocean, we’re helping to:
- Remove existing plastic and trash from the ocean
- Reduce the impact of beach and coastal pollution
- Support education and employment in coastal communities
- Champion sustainability through action, not just words
Looking Ahead: More Than Just a Partnership
We know there’s still work to do, but we’re committed to transparency and progress. Our collaboration with 4ocean is just the beginning.
Together, we’re not just browsing the web—we’re helping save the ocean, one session at a time.
