Wave Browser to Remove 100,000 Pounds of Ocean Plastic and Trash--Just by Browsing

Wave and 4ocean launch a first-of-its-kind partnership that turns everyday browsing into real-world ocean cleanup.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean plastic pollution affects over 1,000 marine species and costs billions in environmental and economic damage. But small actions, like opening a browser, can add up to massive impact.

That's the philosophy behind a new partnership between Wave Browser and global ocean cleanup company 4ocean. Since its inception, 4ocean has successfully removed over 40 million pounds of plastic and trash from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines.

Starting today, every Wave Browser user contributes to a cleaner ocean, just by browsing. As part of a Certified Cleanup Partnership, Wave has committed to funding the removal of 100,000 pounds over 12 months.

A Browser with Built-in Ocean Cleanup 

Wave is now one of the only web browsers with verified ocean cleanup built directly into its core experience. Users don't need to change their behavior. Just using the browser helps reduce ocean plastic and trash. 

A cleanup impact tracker is now available to Wave Browser users so they can see how their daily browsing contributes to the broader environmental mission. 

"We're making environmental impact as effortless as opening a new tab," said Deniz Gezgin, CEO of Eightpoint. "As we expand our portfolio of digital products, we're also investing in sustainability—aligning growth with global impact. We're exploring additional partnerships, environmental features, and mission-driven innovations that turn everyday digital habits into positive change." 

"Wave Browser is proving that technology can be a force for good," added Alex Schulze, co-founder and CEO of 4ocean. "Together, we're removing hundreds of thousands of pounds of trash from the ocean—and empowering millions of people to help." 

Why It Matters 

Since the 1950s, more than 18 trillion pounds of plastic have been produced, much of it ending up in the ocean. With production expected to triple by 2050, the cost to marine life, coastal communities, and global ecosystems could be staggering without intervention. 

4ocean's professional cleanup crews operate year-round in some of the world's most critically impacted regions, including the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, and the United States. These crews help recover ocean trash, one pound at a time, creating sustainable jobs while removing harmful debris from coastlines and waterways. 

Wave Browser's partnership directly supports this mission by funding essential cleanup operations. From crew wages to boats and cleanup gear, Wave is helping expand 4ocean's impact where it's needed most.
