The Ocean Cleanup is a Netherlands-based non-profit focused on reducing plastic pollution in the world's oceans and rivers. It designs and deploys cleanup systems and river interception solutions to remove plastic from watercourses and seas. Based in Rotterdam, South Holland, the organization—supported by a few hundred staff—notes that millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans each year, primarily from rivers, and that addressing legacy plastic requires both prevention and cleanup. Its work involves collaborating with governments, international partners, and other organizations to address plastic pollution in river and marine environments. A notable recent development is the June 2026 partnership with the Philippines' Department of Environment and Natural Resources Climate Change Service to tackle plastic pollution in the Pasig River and Manila Bay region.
