About us

Cleaner Seas Group® is a committed crew of ocean lovers that believe in the power of Intelligent Conservation™. A global team of innovators, designers, entrepreneurs and environmentalists working together to make a real and tangible impact on the future of our planet. Our core mission is very clear; to restore and protect our oceans. Established in 2017, our first task was to tackle one of the biggest ocean polluters; microplastics. Microfibre pollution from synthetic fibre shed accounts for 35% of marine microplastics. We have worked tirelessly to generate awareness of the issue of microplastic pollution and develop real solutions. Indi™️our home washing machine filter and Indikon™️ our commercial scale filter both launched in JUNE 2023 ✊🏻🌊🚀 Are you filtering yet? Help us #TurnTheTide on ocean pollution.

Fish populations could start to collapse if the plastic content in their digestive systems surpasses a threshold of 22%. This tipping point could lead to biodiversity loss as species fail to survive. 🐟 🐠 🐡 Have you read this recent study “Impacts of microplastic ingestion on fish communities in Haizhou Bay, China” by Yuxin Chen? This paper presents a multispecies model, incorporating microplastic effects, which allows a study of microplastics effects on fish communities. Approximately 35% of the microplastic pollution in oceans originates from synthetic microfibres shed by textiles. The researchers found that microplastic ingestion may drive species extinction and biodiversity loss. 🌎 More specifically they concluded that fish communities may experience extinction when the digestive debris ratio exceeds 0.22. This threshold is a warning that community damage could become irreversible as pollution increases. However, the model is based on data from one specific community, so microplastic impact levels may vary by location. The effects of microplastic ingestion are species specific but effects to species at the bottom of the food chain can have significant knock-on effects to species in the rest of the food chain. More research is needed to understand the effects of fibre fragmentation on biodiversity. If you want to know more about how microfibre pollution can be encompassed in your biodiversity strategy this is your last chance to sign up to our webinar “Fibre Fragmentation & Biodiversity Loss” at the link in comments. ⬇️
Today is #WorldJellyishDay 🦑 These beautiful, majestic #SeaJellies are a source of fascination and awe for the Cleaner Seas Group® but we had one big question… ❓How is microplastic and microfibre pollution impacting jellyfish? What we know so far about #Jellyfish and #MicroplasticPollution in our ocean.. 🦑INGESTION Jellyfish can ‘consume’ microplastics through direct ingestion or by ‘eating’ other organisms that have already ingested microplastics. For example, juvenile jellyfish of the species Aurelia sp. can ingest microbeads and microfibres by eating copepods that have already ingested them. The quantity of microplastics jellyfish are consuming is largely unknown but studies (like the one below in Florida) show that 77% of jellies sampled contained microplastics - largely composed of laundry microfibres. 🚨 📄READ THE REPORT:https://lnkd.in/eECDY-Vb🦑EGESTION Jellyfish can egest microplastics I.e get rid of them from their systems. For example, the Rhopilema esculentum jelly can egest over 80% of microplastic particles within 3 hours of clearance. The effect that microplastics have on jellyfish in this process is yet unknown but studies on other marine species imply impact on health, reproductive systems and growth. 🚨 🦑IMPACT Chronic exposure to microplastics have shown (in some studies) to have adverse effects on jellyfish, such as reduced growth, increased oxygen consumption, and reduced assimilation efficiency. However, other studies across other species and differing levels of exposure have not detected physiological harm to jellyfish after ingesting microplastics. Much more research is needed 🚨 There is a simple way to protect our oceans from: 🚨THE LEADING CAUSE OF PRIMARY MICROPLASTICS IN OUR OCEAN: MICROFIBRES FROM SYNTHETIC TEXTILE SHED🚨 By plugging in a filter to all laundry outlets and washing machines we can prevent this pervasive threat: ➡️Cleaner-Seas.com✊🏽🌊Together we can turn the tide on ocean pollution.#SAVEOURSEAS #CleanSeas #CleanerSeas #Microplastic #Microfibre #Ocean #OceanPollution #OceanConservation

📣NEWS JUST IN: Alberto Costa re-introduces the bill to ensure all washing machines have a microfibre filter fitted as standard. House of Commons. 29 OCT 2024. Today Alberto Costa re-introduced the Microplastic Filters (Washing Machines) Bill in the House of Commons. 📃The Bill would require washing machine manufacturers to fit microplastic-catching filters in all new domestic and commercial washing machines. The Bill also aims to raise awareness of the polluting effects of microplastics on our rivers and seas. 🌊TWO HUGE WAVES OF PROGRESS 🌊 Although this isn’t the first time that the bill has been presented Cleaner Seas Group® sincerely hope it’s the last and successful push for this necessary legislation to come into effect. “Microfibre plastic pollution is one of the most pervasive and avoidable forms of plastic pollution. Over a third of all environmental microplastics come from clothing, and research shows that installing filters on washing machines can reduce microfibre emissions by over 78% per was cycle and this number is improving as the technology progresses. Two years ago, I presented this 10 Minute Rule Bill to the House, and many colleagues have approached me since expressing support for this measure and encouraging me to present this Bill to the House again. It has cross-party support and would be an easy win for a government committed to reducing the effects of microplastic pollution on the environment and our health.” ALBERTO COSTA 👀READ MORE ABOUT THE BILL:https://lnkd.in/gZSTrtBd👀READ MORE ABOUT ALBERTO COSTA:https://lnkd.in/gBs6h8DH) ✊SUPPORT The second reading of this bill will happen on 7th March. Between now and then we urge you to make noise! Share this post. Tag Rt Hon Steve Reed OBE MP and speak to your MP. 🌊Together we CAN turn the tide on ocean pollution. #WavesOfChange #WashingMachineFilter #Legilation #Microplastics #Microfibres #OceanPollution #OceamConservation #Legislation #Government #Change

🚨DOLPHINS ARE BREATHING OUT MICROPLASTICS. The Guardian. 16 Oct 24. 🐬Microplastics have been found in dolphin breath for the first time, according to a study that suggests the marine mammals are inhaling the potentially harmful contaminants when they come up for air. 🐬Many of the microplastics found in the dolphin breath samples were polyester, a common polymer used to make clothes, which shed huge amounts of particles when washed, especially in hot cycles. 🐬 The scientists collected samples of exhaled air from bottlenose dolphins in two sites: Sarasota Bay, Florida, an urban estuary, and Barataria Bay, Louisiana, a rural site. They found microplastics in the exhaled breath from all 11 bottlenose dolphins sampled, leading them to believe the inhaled plastics were airborne. 📰READ THE ARTICLE:https://lnkd.in/emDiEG37📄READ THE RESEARCH:https://lnkd.in/dbcxUVs2🌊Make a difference.

🚂A GRAND reflection! Sat on a train on my way to Grand Designs Live in Birmingham to take to the stage this afternoon. Our first visit to Grand Designs London was celebrating the launch of our INDI domestic filter back in May 2023. Since then so much has happened! 🌊we’ve now been selling Indi home filters for almost 18months!! 🌊we have the worlds first and only return and recycle cartridge system for microfibre waste. 🌊we’ve won global and local awards for our technology and commitment. 🌊we’ve scaled our filtration technology to tackle industrial, commercial and global microfibre waste. 🌊we’re launching our recyclate technology and building a recycling plant in Cornwall. 🌊we’ve onboarded so many new partners in many sectors from cruise to water treatment works to laundries and hotel groups. 🌊we’re building a team and a community that support our mission. AND SO MUCH MORE! Yet it feels like we’re just getting started…it’s still just as important to us to tackle microplastic pollution at every source and get a filter into every home! GDL 02 OCT 2024 2PM I’m talking on The Sustainable Futures stage today on how sustainability starts at home with the brilliant Max McMurdo If you’re in town please do come and say hello. Kunle Barker Carly SmithSea you soon. #CleanSeas #CleanerSeas #Reflection #OceanPollution #OceanConservation #GrandDesigns #Sustainability

Home 🤙🏻 📹It was awesome to see this energy (and skill) on our doorstep in Bude this weekend! Some serious talents on show and for all those asking no I wasn’t in the line up! Setting course with the team this monday morning I’m reflecting on how we’ve been riding our own waves here at Cleaner Seas Group® The crew have so much going on behind the scenes from multiple product and brand development and testing through to new collaborations, trials and partnerships in the offing. It feels like a lot. But our vision remains clear. Our crew stands strong. New week. Same mission. We go again 🙌🏻🌊#Monday #GiantSwell #LineUp #Crew #Cornwall #Home #Purpose #CleanSeas #CleanerSeas
