The Ocean Born Foundation is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the Silver Certification by SUPER (Single-Use Plastic Elimination or Reduction). This recognition certifies that we have significantly eliminated single-use plastics in our workplace, aligning with our mission to #ProtectWhatYouLove and contribute to larger solutions for our climate and future. We are deeply grateful to our supporters at SUPER, Tracy Wilson and Manuel Maqueda, for being integral to our journey and success. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight if we do not make the necessary changes to our daily lives. For SUPER, these changes can begin in the workplace. Indeed, single-use plastics pose an urgent and enormous problem in the workplace: SUPER estimates that U.S. businesses alone spend $34 billion on single-use plastics every year, resulting in 10 million tons of waste that go to landfills. Yes, over 90% of single-use plastics produced globally have not been recycled and end up in landfills, incinerators, and our ocean. SUPER (Single-Use Plastic Elimination or Reduction) is a California-based nonprofit that helps businesses deplastify, cutting financial and environmental costs through footprinting technology and a tiered certification program. Working with offices worldwide, SUPER has engaged over 3,500 employees and counting, and strives to offer their certifications to more sectors, including hospitality, transportation, food service, and retail. Empowered by this achievement, we are motivated to continue eliminating plastics from our offices and achieve Gold Certification in the future! #PlasticFree #ZeroWaste #ProtectOurOceans #NoPlasticInMyOcean #CleanOceansNow #CircularEconomy
