In a year defined by growing environmental urgency, Wave Browser proved that meaningful impact doesn’t have to be complicated.
As conversations around how to browse sustainably with a green browser continue to grow, the Wave Browser Impact Report 2025 shows how something as routine as opening a new browser tab can help fund verified ocean cleanup—consistently, transparently, and at scale.
Wave wasn’t built as a silver bullet for the ocean crisis. It was built as a practical tool—one that turns everyday browsing into measurable environmental action, without asking users to change how they work online.
And in 2025, that model delivered real results.
Real Cleanup for Our Ocean, Rivers, and Coastlines
By the end of 2025, the Wave community helped fund the removal of 70,027 pounds of plastic and trash from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines.
To put that into perspective, that’s roughly the size of a small building! All this waste was intercepted before it could further damage marine ecosystems or break down into microplastics.
This progress represents 70% of Wave’s 100,000-pound annual cleanup goal, reinforcing Wave’s long-term commitment to sustained, trackable impact rather than one-off campaigns.
Cleanup Funded in Florida (USA), Indonesia, and Dominican Republic
Cleanup efforts funded by Wave Browser in 2025 focused on three critical regions:
- Florida, USA
- Indonesia (including Bali river systems)
- Dominican Republic
These locations sit on the frontlines of plastic pollution. Rivers funnel waste into the sea, storms push debris back onto coastlines, and fragile ecosystems struggle to recover.
As highlighted in coverage of Wave Browser as an eco-friendly surfing solution, supporting cleanup in these regions helps intercept plastic and trash where it has the highest environmental cost and the greatest opportunity for prevention.
By supporting cleanup in these regions, Wave helps intercept plastic and trash before it can cause long-term damage to our ocean, rivers, and coastlines.
How Wave Browser Creates Real Impact
Wave’s impact model is intentionally simple:
- You browse the web as you normally do
- Wave earns revenue
- A portion of that revenue funds verified cleanup through 4ocean
There are no added steps, subscriptions, or hoops to jump through. Cleanup is funded through normal browser usage—tabs, clicks, and browsing sessions—making impact part of the experience, not an extra task.
It’s also important to note that all cleanup funded by Wave Browser is:
- Documented
- 4ocean verified
- Reported monthly
Users can view detailed monthly impact reports showing where cleanup happened and how much was removed, including the October, November, and December reports.
This transparency builds trust and allows users to see exactly how their browsing contributes to real-world action.
Beyond Cleanup: A Growing Community
Wave’s impact doesn’t stop at pounds removed. In 2025, Wave also saw growing community momentum:
- A surge of new users choosing Wave as their daily browser
- Influencers and creators championing Wave’s ocean mission
- A growing community sharing cleanup stories, conservation wins, and ocean knowledge
What started as a green browser choice is becoming a shared movement—one built on transparency, practicality, and collective progress.
Looking Ahead
Wave’s mission remains the same: to make helping our ocean the easiest part of your day.
The 2025 Impact Report isn’t a finish line—it’s a checkpoint.
With a long-term goal of removing 300,000+ pounds of plastic and trash by 2028, Wave continues to prove that technology can be productive, secure, and purpose-driven at the same time.
Every user strengthens the impact. Every browsing session brings us closer to a cleaner ocean.
Surf the web. Save the ocean.
