HI-TEC Europe recently joined forces with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, one of the world’s leading ocean conservation organisations, for a dedicated beach clean-up event in Southend-on-Sea in Essex.
A team of HI-TEC Europe employees worked alongside Big Blue to remove plastic waste and debris from the shoreline, helping to protect marine ecosystems and ensure this much-loved coastline remains a safe space for the community to enjoy.
HI-TEC said this initiative reflects its commitment to sustainability and giving back to the environments that inspire the brand and its products.
“As an outdoor brand, it’s our responsibility to look after the places we all love to explore,” said Lilly Wieland, Marketing Manager at HI-TEC Europe. “Our staff are proud to take time out of their schedules to get hands-on in making a real difference for our coastlines and oceans.”
Rory Sinclair from Big Blue Ocean Cleanup added: “We were thrilled to partner with HI-TEC Europe for the Southend beach clean. Events like this show the positive impact businesses and communities can have when they work together. Every piece of plastic removed from the shoreline helps protect marine life, supports cleaner oceans, and inspires others to take action. Together, we can make a real difference.”
During the clean-up operation along the expansive Southend shoreline, five sacks were filled with collected waste. The brand said it hopes it will inspire others to take similar action in their own communities and support global ocean conservation efforts.
