Ocean bound plastic recovered thanks to Substance

Our CleanHubs span 3 continents and are located in some of the world’s worst plastic pollution hotspots. Currently, more than 2 billion people dispose of their trash in nature because no one collects it. Your support means our global CleanHubs connect people  in coastal communities to waste collection, preventing plastic from ever polluting our environment. The waste collection you support is door-to-door, or directly from beaches or rivers, creating safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

Portfolio

Two billion people in coastal regions don’t have access to proper waste management. Trash is either openly burned, dumped, or piled onto poorly managed landfills, destined to impact our climate.

Waste management systems prevent trash from ever leaking into nature or being burnt under the open sky.
