COUP
CLEANER OCEAN UPCYCLING PRODUCTIONS
To fight the pollution of our blue planet, we founded the association Cleaner Ocean Upcycling
Productions on November 20, 2011.
COUP sees itself as More Profit Organization, which strives for both socio-economic and ecological goals. The COUP label launches
information campaigns on marine littering, organizes beach cleaning campaigns and creates upcycling collections using the resources found on beaches.
COUP is a More Profit Organization
A circular economy needs to be established in order to reduce pollution and to increase
value.
We actively protect the environment with a creative approach by providing information about marine litter. We draw attention to the price of our throw
away society - the littering of the world's oceans. With creative ideas, installations and actions we
rise awareness about environmental aspects. With our upcycling designs we prove that waste
is a resource.
We create added value for people and nature and see ourselves as a more profit organization that generates both socio-economic and ecological profits.
Our Mision
We are aware that COUP is unable to solve the complex problem of marine littering on its own!
Ecological activism must be expanded with ecological realism.
Humans will always have an impact on the environment.
COUP makes an important contribution to a clean environment through monthly Beachcleanups. Our Consciousness Collections reduce the waste volume and do promote a conscious lifestyle.
We prove that sustainable living and business is possible. Our diverse human creativity helps us to implement this project. Mother Nature knows no waste, so we encourage to a more conscious use of resources and appeal for closed material cycles,
let's close the cycle!
• Protection of the seas and the environment
Our seas are no garbage dump! Trash in the sea is an often invisible, global problem and does affect humans and nature. People need to be more informed about the consequences of our waste-oriented society, clarifying the precarious situation our oceans. We promote awareness and the fact,
that every one can contribute to a clean environment.
• Waste is a resource
Trash cannot be dumped in so-called third world countries anymore! We need to close the resource-cycle and increase value.
- Profitable environmental protection
By offering concrete opportunities for participation, upcycling will reveal new perspectives and income opportunities.
- Social integration
Through working with social organizations we promote the inclusion of people with special backgrounds and so-called "non-labor market people".

Social change
COUP contributes to social change through reflection, inspiration and participation. Through pure facts and creative approaches the reflection of our personal and common consumption and waste behavior will be stimulated. The change is NOW.
who is COUP
COUP is neither different nor better, COUP is an attempt to more sustainable living,
confident in dealing with resources, change and
progress!
