We at Creopack are proud to collaborate with CleanSea – an organisation that works daily to clear Sweden's west coast of plastic and litter. As part of the packaging cycle, we feel a responsibility to give back, which is why we have adopted the bay of Björholmen on Tjörn, which is now part of the 100 for the Ocean initiative.
Why CleanSea?
Every hour, ocean currents wash the equivalent of five full bathtubs of plastic onto the Swedish west coast. This means that over 700 tons of plastic end up here every year – and up to 80% of the litter comes from other countries. CleanSea is a passionate team that has already removed hundreds of tons of plastic and saved countless animals from a life in rubbish. Through their efforts, the ocean becomes cleaner, healthier, and safer for future generations.
We have adopted a bay
We have chosen to adopt Björholmen on Tjörn, a place where large amounts of plastic collect after storms. The bay has a coastline of approximately 6 km, which means there is plenty of work for the CleanSea team to keep the area clean year-round.
Bracelets that make a difference
By purchasing a CleanSea bracelet, you directly contribute to the removal of plastic from oceans and beaches. Each bracelet corresponds to 1 kg of litter removed. It's a simple way to wear your commitment with pride and be reminded that small actions can have a big impact. The bracelets are handcrafted in Turkey by an organisation that offers employment opportunities for people in need of work, in the same place where the material (GOTS-certified cotton thread) is also produced.
Together for a cleaner ocean
Companies, organisations, and individuals can all contribute in different ways. By adopting a bay, participating in cleanup events, buying bracelets, or supporting CleanSea through partnerships. Every effort, big or small, helps to keep the coast free from plastic and give the ocean a healthier future.
Our mission is to spread the fantastic initiative that CleanSea stands for!
