The partnership
One cleanup fund. Three clear roles.
A chain of three: a community that cares, a mechanism that funds it, and collectors on the coast who do the work.
Community
Waste Free Planet gathers.
Waste Free Planet brings people who care about everyday waste reduction into one shared cleanup effort.
Funding mechanism
IdleForest funds.
The free Chrome extension or Mac/Windows app turns background tasks into funding for the clean-ocean fund.
Cleanup partner
Plastic Bank collects.
Funds flow through 1ClickImpact to Plastic Bank collection members in Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil and Egypt, intercepting plastic before it reaches the sea.
How it works
Four steps. No payment. No extra work.
Join Waste Free Planet
Create or connect your IdleForest account so future app activity supports the clean-ocean fund.
Install once
Add the free Chrome extension or Mac/Windows desktop app. Takes about a minute.
Let it run quietly
IdleForest works in the background while you use your computer normally. You can pause anytime.
Fund cleanup
Handled tasks become funding routed via 1ClickImpact to Plastic Bank collectors on the ground.
Most plastic produced ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the natural environment.
Roughly one garbage truck of plastic enters the sea every minute. Interception works.
Install once for free, then let idle bandwidth fund cleanup in the background.
On the ground
Real collectors. Real coastlines.
The Waste Free Planet clean-ocean fund flows to Plastic Bank collection members across Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil and Egypt, turning ocean-bound plastic into income, healthcare and school tuition for their families.
