Eightpoint Launches Wave Browser Partnership with 4ocean to Remove 100,000 Pounds of Ocean Trash

Ocean plastic pollution affects ecosystems around the world, harming marine life and coastal communities. To help address this growing challenge, Eightpoint has announced a new partnership between Wave Browser and global ocean cleanup organization 4ocean.

Through this Certified Cleanup Partnership, Wave Browser will fund the removal of 100,000 pounds of plastic and trash from oceans, rivers, and coastlines over the next 12 months.

The initiative connects everyday digital activity with measurable environmental impact, allowing Wave users to contribute to ocean cleanup simply by using the browser.

“Wave Browser is demonstrating how technology companies can contribute to environmental progress,” said Alex Schulze, co-founder and CEO of 4ocean. “Together we are expanding our ability to remove plastic from the ocean while enabling millions of people to take part in the solution.”

Turning Everyday Browsing Into Verified Ocean Impact

Wave Browser was developed by Eightpoint as a fast, user-focused web browser. Through the new partnership with 4ocean, it now also supports large-scale ocean cleanup efforts.

Every Wave Browser user contributes to the initiative automatically. Users do not need to change their browsing behavior or complete additional steps. Simply using the browser supports the cleanup commitment.

Wave Browser users can also access a cleanup impact tracker, allowing them to see how their daily browsing contributes to the broader mission.

“We’re making environmental impact as effortless as opening a new tab,” said Deniz Gezgin, CEO of Eightpoint. “As we expand our portfolio of digital products, we’re also investing in sustainability. This partnership aligns digital innovation with real-world environmental action.”

Supporting 4ocean’s Global Cleanup Operations

Help clean the ocean just by browsing with Wave

4ocean is a global ocean cleanup organization that has removed more than 40 million pounds of plastic and trash from oceans, rivers, and coastlines since its founding.

The organization operates professional cleanup crews in several regions including:

  • The United States

  • Indonesia

  • The Dominican Republic

These teams recover debris from coastlines and waterways year-round, helping protect marine ecosystems while creating sustainable jobs for local communities.

Wave Browser’s commitment will help fund these operations, including equipment, vessels, and crew support needed to remove ocean plastic and trash.

Why Ocean Plastic Cleanup Matters

Plastic production has grown rapidly over the past several decades. Since the 1950s, trillions of pounds of plastic have been produced worldwide, with a significant portion eventually entering oceans and waterways.

Ocean plastic pollution can affect marine species, disrupt ecosystems, and create long-term environmental challenges for coastal communities.

By supporting large-scale cleanup efforts, partnerships like the one between Wave Browser and 4ocean help remove existing debris while raising awareness about the need for ongoing environmental action.
