Everwave

Everwave is a German impact company focused on preventing plastic and other waste from reaching the oceans by removing it from rivers and waterways. Based in Aachen, the company uses waste collection boats, barriers, manual clean-ups, and AI-supported analysis to identify, collect, and process waste before it enters marine ecosystems. Its model includes Plastic Credits, allowing companies to finance verified waste collection activities and support measurable environmental action. everwave works with local partners and international corporate supporters, positioning itself at the intersection of river clean-up, circular economy infrastructure and corporate plastic responsibility. The organisation originated from the Pacific Garbage Screening initiative and has since shifted its focus toward river-based waste interception.
