On February 20, 2026, Wave Browser joined 4ocean at Spanish River Park in Boca Raton, Florida, to celebrate a historic milestone: 50 million pounds of plastic and trash removed from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines worldwide.
Along the shoreline, cleanup crews, partners, volunteers, and community leaders gathered to recognize what 50 million pounds truly represents: years of sustained effort, documented collection, and measurable environmental progress.
This milestone reflects daily cleanup operations, carefully weighed and recorded materials, and one of the largest verified ocean cleanup efforts in the world.
Wave Browser was proud to stand alongside 4ocean as part of that achievement.
A Global Cleanup Movement Built on Verification
Since 2017, 4ocean has grown into a global cleanup operation powered by supporters, product sales, and certified business partnerships. Every pound removed is collected by trained crews, documented, and transparently reported.
At the Boca Raton beach cleanup event, more than 180 partners and community members gathered to mark the 50-million-pound milestone. The event underscored how consistent, structured action can scale into measurable environmental impact.
As Alex Schulze, co-founder and CEO of 4ocean, noted during the celebration, reaching 50 million pounds removed demonstrates how sustained participation and verified accountability can drive meaningful change to save our ocean.
Why Wave Browser Partners With 4ocean
Wave Browser is built around a simple principle: environmental impact should be structured, measurable, and transparent.
In July 2025, Wave became a Certified Cleanup Partner of 4ocean through a multi-year partnership designed to support ongoing professional cleanup operations.
This partnership contributes to the projected removal of 100,000 pounds of plastic and trash annually, funding trained crews, equipment, and operational infrastructure that make sustained cleanup possible.
Rather than positioning sustainability as a temporary initiative, Wave integrates verified ocean impact directly into its long-term business model. The partnership includes:
- Dedicated support for professional cleanup crews
- Ongoing impact reporting
- Public documentation of pounds removed
- A live impact tracker inside the Wave Browser homepage
This structure ensures environmental claims are supported by documented results.
