CabinZero x Seven Clean Seas: Cleaning Up The Places We Love Most

Great travel starts with a responsible choice. CabinZero is proud to announce our partnership with Seven Clean Seas, an Ocean Impact organisation.

At CabinZero, we’ve always believed great travel starts with responsible choices. For people. For the planet. And for future generations. 

So when it came to turning “we care” into something real and measurable, we knew we needed a partner who wasn’t just talking about impact but doing the hard work, every day, on the frontlines.

Who Are Seven Clean Seas and Why them?

Seven Clean Seas is a Singapore-based ocean impact organisation on a mission to remove 100 million kilograms of plastic from the ocean by 2030.

There are plenty of organisations that care. We chose Seven Clean Seas because they are audited, certified, and set up to show the data.

Moreover, they don't just talk about saving the ocean. These brilliant people actually do the work. No greenwashing, no empty promises.

• They operate plastic recovery projects across Indonesia and Thailand (some of the most plastic-polluted coastlines in the world).

• Crews are locals employed on full-time contracts, working five-day weeks with social security, holiday leave, maternity leave, and more.

• Their projects are third-party certified and independently audited.

• They've set up Materials Recovery Facilities so collected plastic actually gets recycled, not just moved somewhere else.

• They have built a data transparency platform called Periscope, designed to track and report impact.

Turning Intention Into Measurable Action: From Every Order to Ocean Impact

Your gear cleans the ocean.

For every order you placed in 2025, Seven Clean Seas removes 450g of plastic from the ocean on our behalf. That's the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles.

So far in 2025, your purchases have helped remove a staggering 11,250 kg of plastic from the sea.

And this is just the beginning.

Every month in 2025, your orders have helped recover around 1,000 kg of plastic from the ocean.

And beyond the plastic itself, this partnership has funded*:

• 21 cleanup operations in Bintan

• 74 hours of active cleaning on the ground

• 29,650 metres of coastline cleaned (the equivalent of 275 football pitches!)

• 217 days of fair employment for local crew members who depend on this work.

*A quick note on the numbers: these reflect the latest available data from our impact tracker. Some figures may shift slightly as part of the final verification process.

What We’re Learning From The Data

This is the part that really sticks with us: the “plastic pollution” you imagine is usually bottles and bags.

But the reality is messier and more confronting.

The report insights show categories like polyester textile and tarpaulin/banners as major parts of recovered waste, alongside product and logistics packaging.

Seeing exactly what is floating in our waters hits home hard.

This actively shapes how we think about our own supply chain, our packaging, and the choices we make as a brand.

For us at CabinZero, that’s the point: this partnership is a feedback loop. What’s being recovered should shape what we improve next.

Seven Clean Seas employs the locals in Indonesia and Thailand, offering full benefits and fair wages.

The Sea Is Brilliant. Let's Keep It That Way

We’re not perfect. But we are serious about putting the planet at the core - as a part of our wider operating principle.

That’s also why we’re part of 1% for the Planet, and why we take the idea of verification seriously. Environmental claims should be accountable and actionable.

So we’ll keep doing both: supporting credible environmental work and pushing our own decisions towards less waste, less unnecessary packaging, and better long-term choices.

The sea is brilliant. Let's all do our bit to keep it that way.
