Beach cleanups have long been a go-to tactic in the fight against marine plastic pollution, but one stubborn question has remained: what happens to the waste after it’s collected? In most cases, plastic debris pulled from the ocean ends up in landfills or incinerators—contaminated by salt, seaweed, and grime that traditional recycling centers can’t handle.

We’re at a tipping point , not just in climate, but in credibility. Plastic waste is piling up faster than we can track it, and public trust in recycling is eroding just as quickly. We’ve entered the era of greenwashing, where sustainability is more marketing buzzword than measurable truth. Terms like “recycled,” “eco,” and “ocean-bound” are slapped onto packaging with no real data to back them up.
