Every plastic keycard or wristband you purchase, we’ll remove the same amount of plastic from our oceans. Every purchase has an immediate impact.
What is the ID&C Plastic Neutral Program?
Every year, over 12 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans. That’s why ID&C has teamed up with 4ocean to make a difference.
With this partnership, every wristband and key card you buy from ID&C helps clean up our ocean.
For each product you purchase, our clean up partner 4ocean will remove the same weight of plastic from our oceans, rivers and coastlines.
♻️ Why Create a Plastic Neutral Program?
For years, we’ve sought to strike the perfect balance between sustainability and quality. You have high standards, and so do we. An eco-friendly product is essential, but it also needs to be durable, cost-effective, reliable and, let’s face it, visually appealing.
We believe true sustainability is not single use. If a product falls apart after just one use, it’s not truly benefiting the environment. Unfortunately, that’s a common issue we’ve noticed with some alternatives to plastic materials - they often fail to perform in real world conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know that plastic is truly being removed from the ocean?
Every pound of plastic removed is carefully tracked and verified with a detailed process that includes geo-tagged photos (before, during, and after), collection logs, and independent third-party audits.
Can I trace the plastic the partnership collects?
Absolutely! The 4ocean traceability program meticulously documents every plastic collection effort, recording who collected it, where it was gathered, and when it took place. To ensure full accountability, geo-tagged photos are taken before, during, and after each cleanup, providing a transparent and reliable record of the process.
Are cleanup efforts independently verified?
Yes, operations are certified by organizations like BBB, and A A Garg & Co. We also undergo independent audits to ensure our claims are accurate. As a B Corp, 4ocean is held to higher standards of accountability and transparency.
What kind of reports will my company receive?
Depending on your contribution level, you will either receive the ID&C report, which highlights the collective impact of all participants in the ID&C plastic neutral program, or, if you reach 10,000 pounds, you’ll qualify for your own personalized report. These reports feature detailed imagery showcasing the amount of plastic removed, the locations of our cleanup efforts, and the environmental and social impact of your support. They are an excellent way to showcase your company’s commitment to sustainability.
What happens to the plastic after it's collected?
Plastic collected by 4ocean is sorted for recycling, upcycling, or repurposing into sustainable products. If recycling isn’t an option, it's responsibly disposed of or stored for use in durable, non-single-use products through global partnerships.
What does plastic neutral mean?
Plastic neutrality means that for every pound of plastic you buy from us, an equal amount of plastic is removed from the ocean, rivers, and coastlines, and is recycled, repurposed, or responsibly disposed of. This approach helps reduce the global plastic footprint while supporting a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
What is the difference between Insider and Premier-level memberships?
The key difference between Insider and Premier memberships is the level of personalization provided. Premier members get a customized video featuring their logo, to educate guests or attendees on how their card or wristband supports ocean cleanup efforts through the ID&C Plastic Neutral program.
What is the difference between Premier and Partner-level memberships?
The primary distinction between Premier and Partner memberships lies in the level of personalization offered. Premier members receive a tailored video that includes their logo and a direct mention of their brand, designed to educate guests or attendees on how their card or wristband supports ocean cleanup efforts through the ID&C Plastic Neutral program. Additionally, Premier members qualify for a personalized impact report specific to their contributions, rather than the standard ID&C impact report. They also gain exclusive access to a comprehensive media kit to support their marketing efforts.
