For those who care about the ocean

Why OCA?

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of plastic are dumped into the ocean - from microplastics to huge fishing nets. It's one of the biggest environmental crises of our time, and it can feel impossible to do anything about it.

This app enables you to make a difference every single day, without leaving the couch or spending a single penny.

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." But in this case, you can.

You, your community, and the wider network of app users logging in every day to watch just one advert will collectively make a real, measurable impact in the effort to clean our seas. So download today, invite your friends, share what you're doing on our app, and be part of the wave of people making a difference.

How is this even possible?

Sustainable brands selling sustainable products are keen to get in front of you. In exchange for 20 seconds of your time, the money they spend on promoting their products to you goes directly into the ocean clean-up fund.

For context, we will never show you a brand that isn't sustainable or doesn't align with what we believe in - so we think you'll be very happy with what you see.

Every brand on OCA will offer you a discount on their products. Download our app today to see what discounts are already available.

What people say

The most meaningful 20 seconds of your day.

Tommy Lee
"My friends and I have removed over 800 plastic bottles from the ocean in under a month of being on the app. Pushing to get that to 2,000 as I invite more friends and family to my community."
Tommy Lee
Tom Oliver
"I'm ashamed to admit how much time I usually spend scrolling on social media each day, but at least on OCA, after less than 20 seconds, I've actually done something meaningful and impactful - it feels good."
Tom Oliver
Stuart Elmbridge
"I do my daily clean at 7am every morning, usually stood in my kitchen, bleary-eyed, waiting for the kettle to boil. It's now part of my routine and as a result I'm on about 100 bottles removed since joining - should be over 300 by end of year, so long as my kettle doesn't break!"
Stuart Elmbridge
Ellie Smith
"I do beach cleans with friends, but on days I'm stuck at the office, OCA means I can still make a difference. 30 bottles cleaned in as many days is genuine impact - and far less taxing on my lower back than the beach cleans!"

For advertisers

Get in front of people who actually care.

Our users are sustainability obsessed. At their core they are ethical, environmentally conscious people who actively seek out brands that share their values. If you want to reach that audience, this is where you do it.

A sustainability-first audience that associates your brand with doing good.

These aren't passive scrollers. They open the app every single day with one purpose - to remove plastic from the ocean. They're habitual, values-driven, and they pay attention to the brands that make their impact possible.

Your brand doesn't just get seen - it gets associated with an act of good. That's a level of brand sentiment you simply can't buy anywhere else.

How we remove plastic

The impact is real. Here's how.

Every bottle removed on OCA funds certified ocean plastic removal. Here's exactly how the money flows and the plastic moves.

How plastic gets removed
1

User watches an ad

A user opens OCA and watches a 20-second brand video. The brand pays for that view - 100% completion guaranteed.

2

Revenue is allocated

Revenue from the ad is immediately allocated to fund a certified plastic removal operation. The link is direct.

3

Removal operations act

We work with certified ocean plastic removal organisations in coastal regions where the majority of ocean plastic originates.

4

Plastic is removed and verified

Physical plastic is collected, weighed, and logged. Each removal is audited and assigned a verified bottle count.

5

User sees the impact

Their bottle count updates in real time. The impact is traceable, specific, and entirely theirs.

Who removes the plastic

Plastic Bank

Certified, blockchain-traceable plastic recovery helping prevent ocean-bound plastic from reaching the ocean.

The Ocean Cleanup
