There are no beaches on Mars.

The ocean covers 70% of the planet, produces half the oxygen we breathe, feeds 3 billion people, and is the world’s largest carbon sink. What happens beneath the surface affects everyone above it.

With this impending doom, some people are making plans to go live on a rock in space with temperatures of -100°C. But we say: no beach, no fun.

‘After almost 100 years on the planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea’

Built by Ocean Bottle

Philantropica is crafted by Ocean Bottle, the award-winning impact brand behind one of the world’s largest plastic collection programmes.

Plastic is collected in coastal regions where waste management systems are limited and the risk of ocean leakage is highest.

Improving livelihoods. Protecting environments.

Our plastic collection programmes not only alleviate communities from living in plastic waste, they also support livelihoods. From financial literacy to health camps to education support centres and fair incomes for plastic collected, this is an integral part of our mission.

We do technology too

Philantropica plastic collection is powered by partner CleanHub. Their industrial grade digital chain-of-custody tracks collection of every kilogram collected in coastal communities around the world. External auditors verify strict social standards and impact claims.

Let your legacy taste good

Philantropica is a statement - designed to challenge consumer brands and what they do for the world around us.

What would happen if every brand gave 1% of revenue to the planet as the cost of doing business? Within a generation we could dramatically reduce ocean plastic leakage, restore ecosystems, and accelerate climate solutions.

Thank you for playing your part in challenging the way the world works. Bottoms up.
