Logistics Plus Achieves Ocean Integrity Plastic Neutrality Certification for Fourth Consecutive Year

7.9 Million Pounds of Plastic Waste Collected in Last Four Years

Commitment to Ocean Preservation

Logistics Plus has been at the forefront of sustainability efforts, particularly in combating marine plastic pollution. Over the past four years, the company has supported the collection of an impressive 7.9 million pounds (3,599,024 kilograms) of plastic waste from the oceans.

"For the past four years, Logistics Plus has partnered with Ocean Integrity to become plastic neutral through The Blue Ocean Program," said Yuriy Ostapyak, COO for Logistics Plus. "We are committed to preserving and protecting the oceans and their wildlife while supporting our global sustainability mission. Through this initiative, we have contributed to eliminating thousands of tons of single-use plastics from entering our environment each year."

Significant Impact

Last year alone, Logistics Plus reduced its plastic footprint by aiding the collection of over 77,000 pounds of marine plastic and waste. This effort is part of a broader initiative facilitated by the Ocean Integrity Blue Ocean Plastic Neutral Program, which enables companies to establish and reduce their plastic footprint through direct action against marine plastic pollution.

"Logistics Plus has truly made a remarkable impact on reducing plastic waste, having removed an astonishing 3,599,024 kilos of plastic over four years," said Captain Kieran Kelly, Commissioner and Managing Director for Ocean Integrity. "This impressive achievement is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship."

Economic and Environmental Benefits

Marine plastic pollution poses a significant threat not only to wildlife and ecosystems but also to the global economy. It is estimated that one ton of plastic in the ocean can cause up to $33,000 worth of damage to the international economy. By actively participating in the Ocean Integrity Blue Ocean Plastic Neutral Program, Logistics Plus is helping to mitigate these economic damages while promoting a healthier ocean environment.

Looking Ahead

As Logistics Plus continues its mission of sustainability, it sets a powerful example for other companies to follow. The ongoing partnership with Ocean Integrity highlights the potential for collaborative efforts in making substantial environmental impacts.
