A Commitment to Ocean Health Through Certified Sustainability

At Turtle-Ball, our mission goes beyond offering high-quality, eco-conscious products, we are actively contributing to a cleaner planet. That's why we are proud to support and align with the Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Certification Program, developed by ZERO PLASTIC OCEANS (ZPO).

What Is the OBP Certification Program?

Founded in 2019, ZERO PLASTIC OCEANS is a France-based NGO created by professionals in marine biology, environmental science, solid waste management, and certification. Deeply concerned by the escalating levels of plastic pollution, particularly in marine environments, ZPO launched the ZPO Initiative: a pioneering model allowing companies to finance the ethical collection of Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP).

At its core, the initiative focused on certifying the collection of plastic waste that is at high risk of reaching the ocean. Over time, the program evolved to address the entire plastic value chain from collection to recycling and achieving plastic neutrality, culminating in the Ocean Bound Plastic Certification Program.

ZPO remains the official developer and standard setter of this globally recognized certification.

Why Turtle-Ball Supports the OBP Program

We believe in creating products that respect the environment, and that commitment starts at the source. By supporting the OBP Certification Program, Turtle-Ball contributes to:

• Preventing plastic waste from reaching the oceans
  

• Empowering waste pickers and recycling workers through formalized systems
  

• Promoting transparency and accountability in plastic recovery and reuse
  

• Fostering innovation in sustainable product development
  
  

When you choose Turtle-Ball, you are not just choosing quality, you are joining a movement to reduce marine plastic waste and protect ocean ecosystems for future generations.

Looking Ahead

Our partnership with ZERO PLASTIC OCEANS is just one part of our broader sustainability journey. At Turtle-Ball, we are committed to continuous improvement, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility.

Together with our customers and global partners, we can drive real change one certified initiative at a time.
