everwave

everwave is an innovative startup with the clear goal of freeing the world's oceans and waters from plastic pollution. Founded in Aachen, Germany, the company relies on a combination of technological expertise and sustainable strategies to combat this global environmental issue.

everwave develops and deploys specially designed waste collection boats, known as CollectiX, which efficiently collect waste in rivers and lakes with the help of artificial intelligence and drones. These boats can scoop up to 20 tons of waste per day, preventing waste from entering the oceans[5].

In addition to the technical deployment, everwave operates barriers and a platform called HiveX that intercepts drifting waste before it reaches the open seas[4].

everwave's mission is to prevent ocean pollution from plastic and other waste while raising awareness of this environmental issue. The company is committed to a clean and healthy environment and promotes a culture of sustainability and responsibility.

everwave works closely with environmental organizations and local authorities to carry out long-term and holistic cleanup projects in various countries such as Serbia, Thailand, and Cambodia[3][4].

everwave has several key sustainability goals:

• waste collection and recycling: The collected material is processed through environmentally friendly methods such as recycling or thermal recovery and reintegrated into the cycle[3][4].
• Plastic Credits: Companies can offset their own waste footprint by purchasing Plastic Credits. For every euro invested, everwave collects one kilogram of waste, which is documented transparently and traceably[2][5].
• Education and Awareness: everwave develops educational materials for elementary schools and organizes events and community engagement to raise awareness of the impacts of plastic pollution[5].
