Together we fight against plastic pollution in rivers

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems of our time. Our mission is to catch plastic in rivers and to create awareness about this problem. Fortunately, many other organizations are supporting our mission to fight plastic pollution.

The Earthshot Prize

The Great Bubble Barrier was nominated as a finalist for The Earthshot Prize 2021. As The Earthshot Prize alumni, we receive support in scaling our solution globally through tailored mentorship programmes and dedicated events along with an ever-growing cohort of innovative organisations.

Climate KIC & Horizon 2020 European Commission

The Great Bubble Barrier has been supported by the Climate KIC program since its inception in 2016. Our participation in this program has given us access to expertise in sustainable business, intellectual property and internationalisation. The program also allowed us to connect with other startups, which have been a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration.

Schmidt Marine Technology Partners

Since 2019, The Great Bubble Barrier has partnered with Schmidt Marine Technology. They have provided us with knowledge, support and a valuable network to increase the impact of our Bubble Barriers.

Aether Fonds - Stichting Toekomstige Generaties

Aether Fund for Future Generations was established in 2018 to support social enterprises working to address global marine and river issues. We are grateful for the support we received from the fund, which has enabled us to implement more Bubble Barriers globally.

Postcode Loterij Green Challenge

When The Great Bubble Barrier won the 2018 Postcode Lottery Green Challenge, we received much more than a cash prize. We also received a year-long mentorship from Rockstart and were allowed to participate in the DeepDive weeks. The Postcode Lottery and Stichting Doen continue to support us and contribute to achieving our goals.
