Core offering

ReSea Project removes plastic waste from oceans and rivers on behalf of partner companies through a community-driven cleanup operation based in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. Partners pay a unit fee (€8 per kg of plastic removed) to fund cleanup operations, with impact tracked via a VeChain blockchain system and independently verified by Bureau Veritas (annual audits) and Intertek (weekly unannounced inspections). The company also provides QR codes, landing pages, and marketing services so partners can communicate their environmental impact to consumers.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Tide Ocean: Tide Ocean produces pellets and products from ocean-bound plastic collected in Southeast Asia, supplying brands with recycled-content materials. Comparable to ReSea at the upstream collection and sorting stage, with Tide adding downstream resin processing as a differentiator.
• CleanHub: CleanHub is a B2B plastic action platform that partners with brands to fund verified plastic collection from rivers and oceans. Direct peer to ReSea based on identical per-kg B2B plastic credit model, brand-partner focus, and traceability through the supply chain.
• rePurpose Global: rePurpose Global is a plastic action marketplace enabling brands to fund verified plastic removal and reduction through certified projects worldwide. Closely comparable to ReSea in business model (per-unit plastic credits for consumer brands) and target customer (sustainability-marketed CPG).
• Plastic Bank: Plastic Bank operates a B2B platform that converts recovered ocean plastic into verified Social Plastic credits, with on-the-ground collection in coastal communities. It is the closest direct competitor to ReSea Project given shared focus on branded plastic credits and traceability.
• 4ocean: 4ocean funds ocean plastic removal through both B2C (bracelet subscriptions) and B2B partnerships with brands seeking cleanup credits. Direct peer on the removal-and-brand-association model, though ReSea is B2B-only while 4ocean has stronger direct-to-consumer DNA.

Broad incumbents

• TerraCycle: TerraCycle operates a global platform for hard-to-recycle waste collection and branded recycling programs. Comparable to ReSea on the B2B brand-partner model and emphasis on traceability, though TerraCycle operates at much broader scale and across many waste streams beyond ocean plastic.
• The Ocean Cleanup: The Ocean Cleanup is a large foundation deploying proprietary interceptor technology for river and ocean plastic removal. Overlaps with ReSea's mission but operates at much larger scale, with technology-led (vs. community-led) collection and a nonprofit funding model.
• TOMRA: TOMRA is a global leader in sensor-based sorting and collection technology for recycling and waste streams. Comparable as an enabling technology layer to the sorting and traceability that ReSea Project does manually in its Jakarta facility, though TOMRA sells equipment rather than removal credits.

Emerging players

• Plastic Fischer: Plastic Fischer deploys low-cost river-boom technology in Southeast Asia to capture plastic in rivers before it reaches the ocean. Comparable to ReSea on Indonesia/Vietnam geography and B2B brand partnerships, but uses centralized mechanical interceptors rather than community collectors.

Regional players

• Waste4Change: Waste4Change is an Indonesia-based waste management company offering collection, sorting, and recycling services with branded impact products. Comparable to ReSea's Jakarta operations and downstream processing capability, but serves a broader waste stream beyond ocean plastic.
