# Powered by 4ocean

> Powered by 4ocean is the B2B services division of 4Ocean Global, PBC. It is not a consumer product and not a plastic-credit marketplace. Brands license 4ocean's owned ocean and coastline cleanup operations as a managed service — recovery, third-party verification, chain-of-custody reporting, claims support, and co-branded activation.

## What Powered by 4ocean is

- Powered by 4ocean is a **services business** (impact-as-a-service). Brands contract for verified plastic recovery delivered by 4ocean's own salaried captains and crew, then receive audit-grade reporting and licensed trust-mark usage.
- It is **distinct from the 4ocean consumer brand** (4ocean.com), which sells bracelets and merchandise direct to consumers.
- It is **not a plastic credit platform**. There is no credit issued against third-party waste projects; 4ocean employs the crews, owns the boats and equipment, weighs the material, and has recovery third-party verified.
- Verification is asset-based: GPS-logged hauls, weight tickets, polymer sortation, blockchain data logging, and independent third-party audit. 100% of reported pounds are third-party verified.
- Scale: 50M+ pounds recovered, 250+ full-time crew, 200+ brand partners, 9 years of continuous operation.
