Ocean cleanup crew removing plastic waste from coastal waters using nets and boats

Omega-3 Brand to Remove 500K Pounds of Ocean Plastic

A Canadian supplement company is turning every product sale into ocean cleanup action. For each bottle sold, AquaOmega will fund the removal of one pound of plastic from waterways.

A nutrition company built on ocean-sourced ingredients is giving back to the waters that made it possible.

AquaOmega announced its OneHealth Impact Initiative this week, partnering with cleanup organization 4ocean to remove plastic and trash from oceans, rivers, and coastlines. The Cornwall, Ontario company will fund the removal of one pound of waste for every full-sized product sold, targeting 500,000 pounds in the first year.

The program connects each purchase directly to measurable environmental action. When someone buys a bottle of AquaOmega's fish oil supplements, cleanup crews get funding to pull plastic from the water before it harms marine life or breaks down into microplastics.

"As a company built on ocean-sourced nutrition, we believe supporting human wellness also means protecting the waters that sustain life," said Max Marion, AquaOmega's president. The initiative lets customers, retailers, and health practitioners support both personal health and ocean health with a single purchase.

The Ripple Effect spreads beyond individual sales. Revenue from AquaOmega products will fund 4ocean's professional cleanup crews working in waterways worldwide. The money also supports river interception systems that catch plastic before it reaches the ocean, stopping pollution at critical chokepoints where trash flows from land to sea.

AquaOmega is backing up the cleanup commitment with packaging changes too. The company is switching its softgel products from plastic to glass bottles and planning coastal cleanup volunteer events for team members across North America.

The partnership joins two organizations focused on connected health. 4ocean has already removed millions of pounds of plastic through professional cleanup operations in multiple countries. AquaOmega sources its omega-3 supplements from wild-caught anchovies and emphasizes purity testing and sustainable fishing practices.

The initiative recognizes a simple truth: you can't have healthy people without healthy oceans. Half a million pounds is just the start.
