Hey Wefunder Community,As we look back at an incredible 2024, we want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our mission. Your support has directly fueled our efforts to clean the ocean, drive real change, and expand our impact where it matters most.2024 Accomplishments – Turning Waste into ProgressLast year, we made major strides in ocean cleanup, recycling innovation, and community education:873,000 lbs of certified collected plastic waste—a record-breaking effort!6 new recycling centers established in Indonesia, strengthening local infrastructure.166,000 lbs of plastic mechanically recycled, turning waste into reusable materials.131 school kids reached through our education programs, distributing books on plastic consumption and sustainability.2,525 total hours of learning dedicated to building awareness and creating long-term change.This progress wouldn’t be possible without your belief in our vision for cleaner oceans and a more sustainable future.2025 – Scaling Up for Even Greater ImpactWe’re not stopping here. 2025 will be bigger, bolder, and more efficient. Here’s what’s ahead:Increasing plastic collection volumes to remove even more waste from the environment.Analyzing the fishing net situation in coastal communities to explore future collection & recycling efforts.Expanding into 2 new communities, with a unique focus on household waste collection. Why? Because this method is:More efficient (less leakage into the environment).More cost-effective, allowing us to scale and collect more plastic. With these initiatives, we’re pushing boundaries, innovating solutions, and making every dollar count toward real environmental change.Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support isn’t just funding a company, it’s fueling a global movement for cleaner oceans. Let’s make 2025 our biggest year yet!Cheers,Matthias “Paisi” Paisdzior
