By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than all fish
and mammals combined. Vivreau, North America’s leading sustainable
water solution, and 4ocean, a premier ocean cleanup company
dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis, today launch ‘Double
Your Impact’. Through the new initiative, the organizations will
remove 10 pounds of plastic and trash from the ocean for every
Vivreau dispenser purchased and installed before September 30,

The ‘Double Your Impact’ initiative reflects Vivreau and
4ocean’s commitment to building a more sustainable future.
Initially collaborating on the ‘Buy One, Pull One’ initiative
earlier this year to remove five pounds of plastic for every
dispenser sold, both organizations have intensified their efforts
to make an even greater impact.
“Vivreau is deeply committed to eliminating non-essential
single-use plastics. Our partnership with 4ocean is driven by our
shared values and joint dedication to environmental preservation,”
explains Tom Spillane, Vice President of Technical Excellence with
Vivreau. “We’re excited to continue our partnership and actively
contribute to the global fight against plastic pollution through
our work together.”
Recognized globally for its state-of-the-art water dispensers,
Vivreau provides on-demand micro-filtered still and sparkling
water. Vivreau is on a mission to reduce the environmental
footprint associated with pre-packaged water, one bottle at a time.
By joining forces with 4ocean, Vivreau extends its commitment to
sustainability, directly contributing to the removal of plastic
debris from the ocean.
“At 4ocean, we’re stoked to continue working with Vivreau to
tackle the ocean plastic crisis and restore the health of the
ocean,” said Alex Schulze, CEO and Founder at 4ocean. “It is
amazing to partner with a company that is offering sustainable
refill options that encourage people to live a plastic-free
lifestyle. Our partnership will have a meaningful impact on the
amount of plastic that is entering the ocean, and help support our
global cleanup operation.”
As a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp, 4ocean
harnesses the power of business to fund their global cleanup
operation. Since 2017, its professional, full-time captains and
crews have removed over 36 million pounds of plastic waste and
other man-made debris from the world’s oceans, rivers, and
coastlines.
Upon the conclusion of the promotional period, Vivreau will
continue removing five pounds of plastic from the ocean for any
dispensers installed.

dispenser market in North America. Vivreau dispensers connect to
already existing water sources to provide delicious, micro-filtered

grow with innovative new solutions for hygiene-sensitive
environments.
