Cleaning up plastic in the world's oceans

Sustainability is in our DNA – every step of our work is geared towards minimising the impact on the environment. In addition, we support projects that protect nature. One example is the association One Earth One Ocean, which, among other things, removes ghost nets from the Baltic
Ghost nets are lost or abandoned fishing nets and lines, often made of nylon, polyester or polyethylene. It is estimated that ghost nets are responsible for about 10 per cent of the world's plastic waste in the oceans. Not only are they a death trap for marine mammals, fish, seabirds and molluscs, but they also degrade over time into microplastics, plasticisers and impregnation agents. In addition, toxins are deposited on the plastic particles, which can have a significant impact on marine ecosystems and ultimately enter
In the summer of 2024, we visited our cooperation partner oeoo in Kiel as part of the Kieler Woche regatta and were able to gain insights into the important work of maritime waste disposal on the cleaning ship ‘SeeKuh’. Thanks to the great cooperation in 2024, we have decided to work with oeoo on a long-term basis and thus support their mission to rid the sea of plastic.
We would like to thank One Earth One Ocean for their commitment to the world's oceans and look forward to continuing our work together!
