Purpose-driven Tech: Contributing to a Larger Cause
In 2025, Wave Browser became an official Certified Cleanup Partner of 4ocean. A portion of Wave’s revenue goes directly toward supporting 4ocean’s global cleanup operations The goal with Wave Browser is to support the removal of 100,000 pounds of trash annually, with a goal to remove 300,000 pounds by 2028 This means keeping more than 14 million plastic bottles out of the ocean and waterways The work is all verified and traceable
Every Wave browsing session, part of every user’s normal daily routine, helps fund the verified ocean cleanup, with no added steps or complicated setup required. Users can track Wave’s progress directly in the browser Browsing funds support cleanup crews and provide fair wages to them in the U.S., Indonesia, and the Caribbean. The funds are also used for critical cleanup supplies, equipment, and infrastructure needed to remove plastic and other trash from the water, as well as for ongoing, boots-on-the-ground efforts to restore ecosystems and create jobs in affected communities.
“Wave Browser is proving that technology can be a force for good,” according to 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 Wave’s and 4ocean’s Partnership Matters
Since the 1950s, the world has produced more than 18 trillion pounds of plastic, and a significant portion has found its way into our oceans. With global plastic production projected to triple by 2050, the toll on marine life, coastal communities, and entire ecosystems is only expected to grow.
4ocean’s professional cleanup crews work daily in some of the most heavily affected regions, and they’ve already removed more than 45 million pounds of plastic and debris from the water. Support from Wave Browser will help fuel and expand these cleanup operations, amplifying their impact
