HI-TEC® Europe and Big Blue Ocean Cleanup Unite to Protect Our Oceans with a Southend-on-Sea Beach Clean

HI-TEC® Europe, a global leader in performance and lifestyle footwear, proudly joined forces with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, one of the world’s leading ocean conservation organisations, for a dedicated beach clean-up event at Southend-on-Sea.

On 11th September, a team of HI-TEC® Europe employees worked alongside Big Blue Ocean Cleanup to remove plastic waste and debris from the shoreline helping to protect marine ecosystems and ensure this much-loved coastline remains a safe and beautiful space for the community to enjoy.

This initiative reflects HI-TEC® Europe’s 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®. She continues, “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.”

Big Blue Ocean Cleanup welcomed the collaboration:

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Hi-Tec 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.” – Rory Sinclair, Big Blue Ocean Cleanup

During the clean-up operation, five sacks were filled with collected waste. The brand hopes it will inspire others to take similar action in their own communities and support global ocean conservation efforts.
