At Wave, we are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) by joining their prestigious 250 Club, a community of businesses committed to supporting marine conservation and reducing plastic pollution. As a brand dedicated to sustainability, it’s our mission to not only provide eco-friendly products but also actively contribute to preserving the environment. That’s why aligning with Surfers Against Sewage, one of the UK’s leading marine conservation charities, is such a meaningful step for us.

Who Are Surfers Against Sewage?

Founded in 1990, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) began as a grassroots movement by surfers who were outraged by the state of the UK’s polluted beaches and waterways. What started as a campaign to improve water quality has grown into a powerful force in the fight against plastic pollution, marine conservation, and climate change. With a nationwide network of passionate volunteers, SAS organises beach cleanups, advocates for policy changes, and works to raise awareness about the pressing issues facing our oceans.

What is the 250 Club?

The SAS 250 Club is a group of purpose-driven businesses that contribute financially to support the charity’s ongoing efforts to protect our coastlines. By becoming a 250 Club member, companies like Wave actively participate in helping SAS tackle major environmental challenges, including plastic pollution, sewage spills, and climate-related threats to the ocean. The contributions from the 250 Club go directly towards supporting campaigns, educational programmes, and volunteer activities that aim to create cleaner, safer beaches and oceans for everyone.

Why This Partnership Matters to Wave

At Wave, we design products that are not only high-quality but also aligned with our core values of sustainability and environmental protection. Our biodegradable phone cases, made from plant-based materials, are just one way we reduce the use of plastics. But we know that reducing plastic use is just one part of a bigger picture. Our oceans are facing unprecedented challenges, and we want to play an active role in supporting efforts that address these issues.

By joining the SAS 250 Club, we are able to contribute to a cause that is directly aligned with our mission. Surfers Against Sewage not only focuses on the physical cleanup of our beaches but also advocates for policy changes, pushes for corporate responsibility, and educates communities on how they can reduce their environmental impact. This holistic approach to ocean conservation is why we are so proud to be part of the movement.

Working Together for a Cleaner Future

Our partnership with Surfers Against Sewage is more than just a financial contribution. It’s about building a community of like-minded businesses who are committed to making tangible, positive changes for the environment. SAS’s network of over 100,000 volunteers across the UK has made a profound difference, removing plastic waste, restoring ecosystems, and pressuring corporations to rethink their use of single-use plastics.

As part of the SAS 250 Club, we are also able to participate in and promote local beach cleanups and other environmental initiatives. This allows us to take our commitment beyond our products, providing real-world support for the fight against ocean pollution and inspiring our customers to do the same. With this partnership, we hope to raise awareness about the threats facing our oceans and empower people to take action in their own communities.

Why Marine Conservation Matters Now More Than Ever

The oceans play a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate, supporting marine biodiversity, and providing livelihoods for millions of people. However, our oceans are under threat like never before due to plastic pollution, overfishing, climate change, and industrial activities that damage marine ecosystems. Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste enter the ocean, endangering marine life and contributing to the broader environmental crisis.

Surfers Against Sewage is at the forefront of tackling these urgent challenges through education, activism, and direct action. From spearheading campaigns to end plastic pollution and lobbying for cleaner water, to mobilising volunteers for massive beach clean-ups, SAS is making a real difference. By supporting their mission, we are playing our part in helping to protect one of the Earth’s most precious resources.

How You Can Get Involved

Want to support the work of Surfers Against Sewage and protect our coastlines? There are plenty of ways to get involved:

  • Join a Beach Cleanup: SAS organises regular beach cleanups around the UK, where volunteers help remove plastic and other waste from coastal areas.
  • Reduce Your Plastic Use: Make conscious choices to reduce single-use plastics in your daily life. Opt for reusable products like Wave’s biodegradable phone cases and water bottles.
  • Donate: Support the cause by donating directly to SAS or by purchasing from businesses that contribute to the SAS 250 Club.
  • Spread Awareness: Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about ocean pollution and the efforts of charities like SAS to combat it. Every bit of awareness helps build momentum for change.

Looking Forward: Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future

At Wave, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From our products to our partnerships, we are committed to reducing waste and promoting a more eco-friendly way of living. Joining Surfers Against Sewage’s 250 Club is an important part of our journey, but it’s just the beginning. We will continue to seek out opportunities to make a positive impact on the environment, and we are excited to share this journey with our customers and partners.

Together, we can create a future where our oceans are free from pollution, and our beaches remain clean and beautiful for generations to come. Stay tuned for updates on our work with SAS and other sustainability initiatives!
