THE PARTNERSHIP
One connected model
Riverguard is built on the idea that long-term solutions to plastic pollution require more than collection technology alone. They require the right material flows, viable value chains, access to markets and the partnerships needed to implement and scale them.
The initiative therefore brings together three partners with complementary expertise. All In On Green contributes the technology and practical knowledge needed to establish collection systems. Ocean Plastic Forum connects recovered material with actors across the circular value chain. CLEAN brings market knowledge, international networks and experience in developing partnerships that can take solutions into new locations.
Together, these capabilities create the foundation for developing Riverguard from collection system to scalable business model.
The partners
ALL IN ON GREEN
TECHNOLOGY & IMPLEMENTATION
It starts in the water. All In On Green develops technology for intercepting floating waste in rivers and waterways, including SeaProtectorOne, and brings practical experience in adapting collection systems to different local conditions.
In Riverguard, this expertise turns the first step of the value chain into practice: establishing collection systems that can operate effectively over time.
OCEAN PLASTIC FORUM
CIRCULAR VALUE CHAINS
Collection is only valuable if there is somewhere for the material to go. Ocean Plastic Forum works across the ocean plastic value chain, connecting collectors, recyclers, manufacturers and other actors that can turn recovered plastic into new resources.
In Riverguard, Ocean Plastic Forum build the route from collected material to sorting, recycling, new production and ultimately the market.
CLEAN
GLOBAL & STRATEGIC
A working model also needs somewhere to grow. As Denmark’s Water and Environmental Cluster, CLEAN connects companies, public actors, knowledge institutions and international networks working with green and environmental solutions.
In Riverguard, CLEAN brings market knowledge and international reach, helping identify new partners, opportunities and locations where the model can be developed and scaled.
Riverguard is built around the idea that no single part of the value chain can solve the challenge alone. Collection technology needs viable outlets for recovered material, circular value chains depend on reliable collection and market demand, and scaling the model requires access to the right markets, partners and local opportunities.
This is why the partnership is at the heart of Riverguard. By combining All In On Green’s technology and implementation expertise, Ocean Plastic Forum’s experience in building circular value chains, and CLEAN’s market knowledge and international networks, the initiative brings these elements together from the beginning. The aim is to develop projects where environmental impact and economic viability reinforce one another and where successful models can be adapted and scaled to new locations.
