We use shells to communicate to you precisely how far
you are away from recovering an ocean-bound plastic bottle
Whenever you open a new tab, we show you a few sponsored links
This allows us to pay for
the collection of
ocean-bound plastic
However, opening a single tab, does not contribute enough to recover a full bottle
So we invented "shells" to communicate more precisely when a bottle gets recovered because of you
The first tabs each day bring more shells to avoid that people try "hacking" the system by opening thousands of tabs at once
If people open many tabs just for fun and without sense, it does not help OceanHero. You waste your time, unfortunately
You have the greatest impact by doing just what you do anyway
And by recommending OceanHero to your friends and family
We believe that, before one can effectively clean debris from the oceans, the leakage of waste must be stopped in the first place—in other words, the tap must be turned off. Therefore, our primary focus is ocean-bound plastic waste—materials that have not been landfilled and are prone to enter waterways.
We have signed a partnership with Plastic Bank, which primarily collects the following post-consumer waste: HDPE (milk containers, detergent containers, base cups for plastic soda bottles), LDPE (plastic bags, bubble wrap), PET (plastic beverage containers, polyester textiles), and PP (battery casings, dairy product containers). You can check out their website for more information.
Plastic BankBot traffic is bad for OceanHero. We generate revenue only from real users who click relevant ads that ensure positive results for our advertisers. All other traffic, and ad clicks don't generate any revenue. In fact, they only create costs for OceanHero, reducing the amount of money that we can spend on plastic collection. Consequently, we monitor our traffic and quality indicators daily and implement measures, as needed, in order to prevent harmful traffic. So, in a nutshell, normal usage is the best for OceanHero.
Every month, we publish information on the "About Us" page that details how much ocean-bound plastic we were able to collect. Visit this page to learn more about OceanHero.
