Another 10,000 euros for the protection of the oceans: After 2022, Herrmann Ultraschall is once again supporting the non-profit organization The Ocean Cleanup, which frees the oceans from plastic waste.
"With our donation as part of Herrmann Cares, we traditionally support organizations that align with our values," says CEO Thomas Herrmann, explaining the background to the donation. "Just like us, The Ocean Cleanup stands for the sustainable use of plastic. With our safe ultrasonic welding technology, we can prevent the generation of waste and at the same time help to remove existing plastic waste from the environment with our donation.”
With the support of companies such as Herrmann Ultraschall, The Ocean Cleanup plans to remove around 90 percent of plastic waste from the oceans by 2040. To achieve this, the organization is not only removing plastic pieces from large accumulations such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Specially developed collection systems in rivers prevent even more plastic parts from entering the oceans and damaging the ecosystems there. The collected plastic is recycled and used for the manufacture of new products.
