Company mission

To end plastic pollution. For clean oceans.

Our take

Decades of neglectful waste disposal has led to enormous quantities of plastic waste ending up in the ocean, and consumer brands are major contributors to this. Many businesses aspire to reduce their plastic imprint and contribute to the global ocean clean-up, but organising such projects and hiring trained volunteers is expensive and logistically difficult.

CleanHub provides a global platform for waste collection, allowing brands to pay for the company to organise a fixed amount of waste clean-up every month, without the brand having to organise volunteers or logistics. Companies can be charged at a bespoke monthly rate or for every eCommerce sale, and CleanHub will collect waste, allowing the brand to track and share their progress.

CleanHub has generated great interest from various industries internationally, and its customer base includes companies such as Noughty, Yamo and Everdrop as well as giants like Würth. Funding is being used to scale its operations with the aim of building out a foundational part of the world's waste management infrastructure and more recently, its introduced a circular solution for plastic pollution in developing countries.
