Vacant job

CleanSea was founded in 2019 by Lukas and Mikaela Julher, who, with their love for the sea and a desire to combat plastic pollution, started the business to make a real difference for our marine environments. Every hour, large amounts of plastic wash up along Sweden's west coast. CleanSea works to collect this plastic to protect Sweden's marine wildlife and preserve the fantastic environment we have today. So far, we have removed over 100 tons of marine plastic, and the business is growing rapidly through support from individuals and collaborations with companies & organizations.
