We exist to help untrash our planet. We measure our impact across four areas.
1. Current citizen population: {citizen_count}
Every person who buys is issued a unique citizenship number. Our community of likeminded, good citizens is growing.
2. Bottles used: 5,950
We grab single-use plastic bottles before they reach our oceans and landfill to make our sunglasses, cleaning cloths and cases.
3. Ocean plastic removed: 2108kg
For every sale, we pull 1kg of plastic trash out of the ocean as a gift from each citizen to the planet.
4. Citizen awareness: 23+ million
Part of our mission is to raise awareness and educate people on the single-use problem. This figure is the amount of citizens who have seen our activity in the media.
