Ogyre operates a “fishing for litter” model that partners with more than 130 fishermen across Italy, Indonesia, Brazil and Senegal to remove plastic from oceans and coastlines. Its digital platform records every kilogram of recovered waste on blockchain, providing transparent data on collection and disposal. The company reached break-even in 2024 with revenue exceeding €2 million and currently employs a 25-person team in Italy. Corporate supporters already include Luna Rossa, Panerai, Feltrinelli, AS Roma and over 200 other partners. With fresh funding, Ogyre plans to expand into additional high-pollution countries, open new ports and strengthen its technology for life-cycle waste tracking. By 2026 it targets an annual collection of 2 million kg of marine litter (about 5 tonnes per day) and a cumulative 20 million kg by 2030. The company also aims to deepen its social impact by advancing sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities engaged in the program.
