Our team, partners, and local communities are collaboratively tackling plastic pollution. In Panama City, we've partnered with Marea Verde Panama, utilizing research and cutting-edge technology to map waterways and reduce river pollution before it reaches the ocean. This effort is part of our 30 Cities Program, which aims to prevent up to one-third of all river plastic emissions from entering the ocean.

By understanding how plastic moves through local waterways, we create lasting social, economic, and environmental benefits for the people who live there.
