GET TO KNOW US: OUR STORY AND TEAM

Find out how our mission began and meet the team behind the effort to remove plastic from the Mediterranean Sea and its harbours.

Our Mission: Plastic Free Oceans

We believe in a world where making a positive impact is the standard, not the exception. That’s why we created Gravity Wave – a global movement uniting businesses, individuals, and governments to fight ocean plastic pollution and promote the use of sustainable recycled materials.

Our story: Gravity Wave was born from an ambitious dream: to remove every last kilogram of plastic from the Mediterranean Sea and prevent new plastic from entering.

In 2019, Amaia and Julen recognized the urgent global challenge of ocean plastic pollution. With a clear mission, they founded Gravity Wave to collect marine plastic waste and transform it into high-value recycled materials, promoting a true circular economy.

Our vision has always been ambitious: to tackle ocean plastic pollution in a comprehensive and effective way. It’s a massive challenge, and it requires an equally massive solution.

At Gravity Wave, we don’t just remove plastic from the sea — we give fishing nets and marine plastics a second life as panels, products, and sustainable solutions.

We can’t do this alone...

We believe in taking action, driving innovation, and working together for a plastic-free sea. Discover our MANIFESTO:

A big mission, countless alliances

For decades, our oceans have been drowning in rubbish. But we reckon that by joining forces, we can turn the tide and create a brighter future for everyone.

To make this global project happen, we’ve teamed up with scientists, organisations, foundations, and others who share our passion. We’re not into competing; we’re all about working together, sharing what we know, and combining our efforts.

If you’ve checked out our manifesto, you already know we’re dreamers—but more importantly, we get things done.

To achieve our mission, we rely on a passionate and skilled team, driven to turn our vision into reality.
