How we do it
Our cleanup solution is community-driven. We engage people in local communities in Indonesia to recover plastic waste from heavily polluted oceans and rivers
Documented and verified cleanup
Our collection process verified by Bureau Veritas Solutions Denmark A/S. As part of the verification activities, Bureau Veritas conducts an annual on-site audit and review the collection process assessing ReSea Project’s blockchain-based data.

A daily cleanup mission
Together we recover polluted oceans and rivers
This video invites you behind the scenes of our cleanup operations, where our operational manager, Yusuf, takes you through the entire cleanup process. Here you will get a glimpse how we work from the early morning, where our team sails out to collect plastic waste to the final step of the celanup, where the plastic waste is sorted, put in sacks and labelled and ready to be collected and transported to our ReSea Project Sorting Facility.
From ocean waste to fine sorted plastic waste.
Once the plastic waste has been recovered from oceans and rivers, weighted and registered in our blockchain system, it is being transported to our ReSea Project Sorting Facility.
Here, the plastic waste is being fine sorted manually by our team, bale pressed and ready to be handed over to partners who can use it for new purposes.

Meet the team
Our team is the heart of our cleanup solution
Meet Udin and Sulaiman. They are each sharing their story about how they ended up collecting plastic waste from oceans and rivers. In the late 80'ies, they used to play around the rivers they lived by, but this has slowly changed as time passed and more plastic waste was floating around, polluting their oceans and rivers. Now they are both happy to engage with ReSea Project and be a part of the solution and to witness the positive impact they contribute to.
