We work with collectors in vulnerable coastal communities to clear rivers and waterways, and stop plastic entering the ocean.
WHAT IS PLAY SALTY? A brand of sustainable ocean lover’s apparel inspired and designed around our deep love for the ocean and passion for the world we live in. MEANING BEHIND THE NAME The name "Play Salty" is universal. It can be anything from playing on a beach in the sand to stand-up paddle boarding, fishing, surfing, kayaking, or simply floating down a river. Play Salty is a brand that ocean lovers and everyone from all walks of life can enjoy. OUR MISSION The oceans are an abundant source of life. Everything flows back to the ocean, from the mountains' rivers and lakes to the creeks that flow to the sea. As a 1% for the Planet member, we give back to the oceans to help protect our planet for future generations. We are adamant about saving our oceans and the environment. This wave, which we hope you will join us in riding, promotes preservation for these concerns. As a 1% for the Planet member, we take responsibility and give back at least 1% of our total annual sales to environmental solutions. We are, all together for the planet.

How it works
Play Salty is funding plastic collection across Ocean Co.'s partner collection network, supporting projects that create the most impact for communities across the globe.
Plastic collection
Plastic exchange
Collectors exchange plastic for money and get access to social resources such as healthcare, education and financial support.
Circular economy
The collected plastic is recycled, upcycled or co-processed through a fully traceable system. We have a zero waste to landfill policy.

We are a global network of change-makers working together to turn the tide on ocean-bound plastic and improve livelihoods in coastal communities across the globe.
Partnered with:
Our partnership with Plastic Bank has enabled us to fund impact across projects in Indonesia, Brazil, Egypt and the Philippines, providing a secure income for collectors while creating social benefits.
Plastics For Change takes a grassroots approach to waste management, leveraging community actions to drive systemic change and formalise processes that benefit local workers.
Incentivising collection of low-value plastics like PET, rePurpose creates value in discarded plastic waste. In 2022, rePurpose opened sites in Ghana and Kenya allowing us to extend the reach of our impact in areas that need it most.
