COUP

CLEANER OCEAN UPCYCLING PRODUCTIONS

To fight the pollution of our blue planet, we founded the association Cleaner Ocean Upcycling Productions on November 20, 2011.

COUP sees itself as More Profit Organization, which strives for both socio-economic and ecological goals. The COUP label launches information campaigns on marine littering, organizes beach cleaning campaigns and creates upcycling collections using the resources found on beaches.

COUP is a More Profit Organization

A circular economy needs to be established in order to reduce pollution and to increase value.

We actively protect the environment with a creative approach by providing information about marine litter. We  draw attention to the price of our throw away society - the littering of the world's oceans. With creative ideas, installations and actions we rise awareness about environmental aspects. With our upcycling designs we prove that waste is a resource.

We create added value for people and nature and see ourselves as a more profit organization that generates both socio-economic and ecological profits.

Our Mision

We are aware that COUP is unable to solve the complex problem of marine littering on its own!

Ecological activism must be expanded with ecological realism.

Humans will always have an impact on the environment.
COUP makes an important contribution to a clean environment through monthly Beachcleanups Our Consciousness Collections reduce the waste volume and  do promote a conscious lifestyle.

We prove that sustainable living and business is possible. Our diverse human creativity helps us to implement this project. Mother Nature knows no waste, so we encourage to a more conscious use of resources and appeal for closed material cycles,

let's close the cycle!

• Protection of the seas and the environment

 

Our seas are no garbage dump! Trash in the sea is an often invisible, global problem  and does affect humans and nature. People need to  be more informed about the consequences of our waste-oriented society, clarifying the precarious situation our oceans. We promote awareness and the fact,

that every one can contribute to a clean environment.

 

• Waste is a resource

 

Trash cannot be dumped in so-called third world countries anymore! We need to close the resource-cycle and increase value.

  •  Profitable environmental protection

By offering concrete opportunities for participation, upcycling will reveal new perspectives and income opportunities.

  • Social integration

Through working with social organizations we promote the inclusion of people with special backgrounds and so-called "non-labor market people".

  •  Social change

COUP contributes to social change through reflection, inspiration and participation. Through pure facts and creative approaches the reflection of our personal and common consumption and waste behavior will be stimulated. The change is NOW.
