Project White Sands- Pasir Ris, Singapore

Ocean Purpose Project (OPP) aims to find purpose in the problems affecting the Ocean. Our first projects include: Solving the ocean plastic crisis on a mass scale in the millions of tonnes, creating an ocean-cleaning product that will safeguard people’s homes, jobs and health, changing behaviour through mass participation.

How do we achieve this?
With the help of everyone- science, industry, social enterprises, NGOs, governments, creatives and yes- even the "big bad polluters" themselves.

How do we do this?

Through our 3 key pillars:
Plastic to Hydrogen: OPP is the only beach clean up in the world converting ocean plastics into hydrogen. The aim? Transforming thousands of tonnes of ocean waste into low-sulphur fuel, carbon black and carbon nanotubes through our nimble, deployable pyrolysis machines
Bioremediation & Bioplastics: Promoting nature based solutions such as native species of seaweed that can filter chemicals from oceans. From here, poor fishing communities can now create a secondary product such as biofertilisers, bioleathers and even bioplastics- Creating a single-use plastic alternative from seaweed and mussels to save 115 fish farms in Singapore.
Behaviour Change: Mobilising hundreds of corporates and communities through offline projects, like beach clean-ups and Blue Carbon projects based in Singapore and Bali, and online programs like our Opportunity Webinar and social media campaigns.
