What we do

The plastic does not stay where it lands.

Most of what we collect was never dropped on Koh Lipe. It arrives with the currents and piles up on the beaches of the islands in Tarutao National Park, where nobody lives and nobody clears it. Thousands of plastic bottles — from the Maldives, Malaysia and Indonesia.

It is work that is never finished; but anyone who has seen what the sea carries ashore looks at plastic differently afterwards.
