4Ocean: Making Waves for a Cleaner Planet

At Bearded Coast, we believe in more than just high-quality beard care; we believe in making a difference. That’s why we’ve partnered with 4Ocean, a company dedicated to removing plastic waste from our oceans. Every time you shop with us, you have the opportunity to contribute to this mission by electing to donate at checkout. But who is 4Ocean, and why is their work so important? Let’s dive in.

Who is 4Ocean?

Founded in 2017 by two surfers, Alex Schulze and Andrew Cooper, 4Ocean was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: businesses can be a force for good. After witnessing the devastating amount of plastic pollution in the ocean while on a surf trip to Bali, they decided to take action. Their mission? To clean up our oceans and coastlines while simultaneously creating sustainable jobs and promoting global environmental awareness.

4Ocean operates as a certified B Corporation, meaning they meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance. Through their cleanup efforts, they’ve removed millions of pounds of trash from the ocean and continue to expand their initiatives worldwide.

What Does 4Ocean Do?

4Ocean’s work extends far beyond simply picking up trash. Here’s how they make an impact:

• Ocean Cleanup Operations – 4Ocean employs full-time captains and crews to recover plastic pollution from oceans and waterways worldwide.

• Bracelet Sales & Funding – The company funds its cleanup efforts through sales of its iconic 4Ocean Bracelets, each made from recycled materials. Every bracelet purchased represents one pound of trash removed.

• Recycling & Sustainability Initiatives – They invest in innovative technologies and local partnerships to reduce plastic dependency and promote sustainable waste management.

• Advocacy & Awareness – 4Ocean works to educate individuals, businesses, and policymakers about the plastic pollution crisis, encouraging systemic change.
