Ocean Legacy [1] is a Canadian based, internationally recognized non-profit organization that has developed a world leading Plastic Pollution Emergency Response™ program called EPIC.
Their goal is to give the plastic waste recovered from oceans and beach cleanups around the world an economic value, stimulating the plastic circular economy while providing communities the long-term tools they need to steward their environment — keeping more plastic out of the oceans in the first place.
Ocean Legacy works with scientists, government, non-profits, artists, industries and concerned citizens to catalyze innovative solutions to combat plastic pollution. By working together, they create tools for communities around the world to help them clean up and manage their post-consumer plastic by transforming it into a valuable resource.
Ocean Legacy believes worldwide change begins with dedicated, well-informed individual action. The goal is to educate the public about the plastic crisis we face and foster a global movement to end plastic pollution. Anyone can fight the devastation being caused by plastic pollution, but we all need to understand the problem.
