NextWave Plastics is an industry-led, open-source collaboration among leading technology companies and consumer brands to develop the first global network of ocean-bound plastics supply chains. Convened by Lonely Whale, this consortium aims to keep plastic in our economy and out of the ocean and has committed to preventing 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste from entering the oceans by 2025 across countries most impacted by plastic pollution. Members include Dell Technologies, Bureo, CPI Card Group, Herman Miller, HP, Humanscale, IKEA, Interface, Solgaard, and Trek Bicycle.

In 2021, NextWave was awarded the top honours at the United Nations SDG Action Awards, which recognise organisations from around the world who are mobilising, inspiring and connecting individuals to make positive change for people and the planet.
