Ocean Recovery Project

#waveofwaste campaign

In 2010 The Ocean Recovery Project were the first to highlight the issue of cheap disposable bodyboards that blight our beaches, pollute our seas and create huge amounts of waste.

Disposable bodyboards are typically shipped across the globe for a few hours use before being dumped.

The #waveofwaste campaign received national media coverage and has led to huge awareness of the issue.

Over the years over 5000 broken boards have been recycled into packaging, insulation, under-floor cushioning, dresses, cushions, bags, bee hives and now handplanes by Noa Surf Collective..
