About The Ocean Legacy Foundation

Ocean Legacy Foundation is a Canadian based, internationally recognized non-profit organization that has developed a world leading Plastic Pollution Emergency Response™ program called EPIC. This dynamic and integrative approach to ocean plastics recovery and transformation combines 4 main components: Education, Policy, Infrastructure and Cleanup. 

Our goal is to give the plastic waste we recover from oceans and beach cleanups around the world an economic value, stimulating the plastic circular economy while providing communities the long-term tools they need to steward their environment keeping more plastic out of the oceans in the first place.

We have developed a recycling program that creates high quality pellets from recovered marine plastics for use in manufacturing. Through this development we have forged partnerships with brands, including Tideman Boats, who create boat hulls out of recycled HDPE plastic. We will soon be launching a collaborative prototype created from our recycled ocean plastics, which we intend to display at the Vancouver International Boat Show to demonstrate firsthand the value of recycled ocean plastics to the community that is most directly invested in our oceans and waterways: boaters.
