18.5.2023 13:02:23 CEST | ACCESS Newswire | Press release
BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2023 / 4ocean, a purpose-driven B Corp with a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis, in partnership with U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), are pleased to announce the extension of their partnership. The two entities have committed to removing 150,000 pounds of trash from the world's oceans through the 4ocean Pound+ Services, now through 2024.
4ocean and U.S. Polo Assn.'s partnership began in early 2021 and successfully led to the removal of 60,000 pounds of plastic from the ocean, rivers, and coastlines. The two organizations worked together during that time towards ocean-positive sustainability with the help of 88 crew members and seven ocean vessels, with most of the waste being pulled in Indonesia across six specific beaches. This year's goal more than doubles the previous year's accomplishment.
"I'm stoked about the extension of our partnership with U.S. Polo Assn. and their commitment to increasing the amount of trash and plastic they pull," said Alex Schulze, co-founder of 4ocean. "It's inspiring to see a company take such a proactive approach to sustainability that will have a measurable impact on the ocean. U.S. Polo Assn. committing to 2.5 times the amount of trash and plastic they pulled last year is a bold move, and I'm excited to see the results of this initiative."
Schulze added, "We are proud to be part of this effort and look forward to continuing our collaboration with U.S. Polo Assn. and other partners to make a positive impact on our ocean."
This meaningful partnership is a component of U.S. Polo Assn.'s overarching sustainability initiative USPA Life, which works towards improving the impact of our business on the environment. The USPA Life initiative also offers a global and growing selection of apparel, footwear, and accessories with sustainable attributes.
"U.S. Polo Assn. has been taking a global and holistic approach to our long-term sustainability journey with initiatives like our 4ocean partnership and USPA Life," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing Inc., which manages the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "We have been working diligently to improve our global footprint through products that are better for the environment and through partnerships with organizations like 4ocean that share our mission and vision for a sustainable future."
4ocean was the Official Sustainability Partner of the U.S. Open Polo Championship Final, collecting plastic and trash from the prestigious and sold-out event in April at the USPA National Polo Center. 4ocean also had a series of commercial spots run during the U.S. Open Polo Championship Final on multiple ESPN platforms, bringing awareness to millions of consumers and sports fans.

Human-Robot Collaboration Takes Center Stage at Prestigious Logistics Award30.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Denmark's The Mobile Robot Company wins IFOY Industrial Truck of the Year 2026 with a self-driving pallet jack built to empower warehouse operators rather than replace them. STUTTGART, DE / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / In warehouses and factories, much of the work that keeps goods moving is still measured in footsteps. Operators walk the same routes, push the same loads, and repeat the same transport tasks hour after hour. For years, automation has promised to remove that work, but often with a catch: complex projects, fixed infrastructure, long integrations, and systems that assume people should be designed out of the process. At this year's IFOY AWARD, one of intralogistics' most respected technology prizes, the Industrial Truck of the Year award went to a different idea. The Mobile Robot Company, a young Danish robotics startup, won the 2026 title for the J1600 self-driving pallet jack, a robot designed not to replace the warehouse operator, but to work under the operator's dir
