At a time when plastic pollution threatens the health of our oceans, wildlife, and communities, the need for bold, science-driven solutions has never been greater. That’s why we are proud to support The 5 Gyres Institute, an organization that has been at the forefront of the fight against plastic waste for over a decade. Through groundbreaking research, advocacy, and education, 5 Gyres is leading the charge in creating a future free from plastic pollution—and we are honored to stand with them in this critical mission.
Turning Research into Action
The 5 Gyres Institute is best known for its pioneering research on plastic pollution, particularly its discovery and mapping of the world’s five major oceanic plastic accumulation zones, or gyres. By collecting and analyzing ocean plastics from around the globe, 5 Gyres has built one of the largest datasets on marine plastic pollution, shaping policies and inspiring action at every level.
But 5 Gyres doesn’t just study the problem—they work tirelessly to create solutions. From influencing plastic reduction policies to empowering businesses and communities to transition away from single-use plastics, they are proving that science can drive real-world impact. Our funding helps them continue this vital work, ensuring that research doesn’t just sit in a lab but translates into tangible change for the environment.
Empowering Communities to Make a Difference
One of the most inspiring aspects of 5 Gyres’ work is its commitment to engaging and educating people. Through their Trash Blitz program, citizen scientists help collect and analyze local plastic waste, providing valuable data to inform policy changes. Their ambassador network equips individuals with the tools to advocate for plastic-free communities.
By funding 5 Gyres, we are investing in a movement that empowers everyday people to take action—because real change happens when individuals, businesses, and policymakers work together.
Why This Matters Now
Every year, more than 11 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean, endangering marine life, polluting ecosystems, and even making its way into our food and water. Without intervention, this crisis will only worsen. But thanks to organizations like 5 Gyres, we have a roadmap for change.
By supporting their work, we are helping to:
✅ Advocate for stronger plastic reduction policies
✅ Advance scientific research on plastic pollution
✅ Educate communities and inspire global action
✅ Develop alternatives to single-use plastics
