Coca‑Cola in Australia, with support from the Coca‑Cola Foundation, has been partnering with Eco Barge Clean Seas since 2018 to help clean up over 23,000kg* of marine debris from the Great Barrier Reef. We’ve also helped ensure that much of the material dredged from the ocean does not end up in landfill.

We’ve connected the organisation with Plastic Collective, whose plastic recycling Shruder is being used to give new life to waste collected by Eco Barge. About the size of an office desk, this powerful machine, donated to Eco Barge by Coca‑Cola Australia, shreds up plastic for selling on to plastic recyclers, or creating new products. The Shruder is made by the Australian team at Plastic Collective.
