The plastic crisis is massive, complex and intertwined with climate change. It affects everyone, everywhere. Ending it will take creativity, collaboration and eco-innovation. But there are straightforward steps we can take right now to make a difference.
In 2020 we launched a sustainable children’s scooter line that uses recycled ocean plastic. As part of the “1% for the Planet” initiative, Micro donates 1% of the sales of the ECO children’s scooter product line to non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting the environment.
What is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the well-being of our planet and future generations. It inspires businesses and individuals to support environmental nonprofits through their membership and daily actions. Since its founding in 2002, its members have donated more than $265 million to environmental nonprofits to date.
Why do we support environmental charities?
“We recognize that the challenges facing our world are too great for any one person or organization to solve alone. To make meaningful positive change, we all need to work together. Companies like us have an even greater obligation to help. Our partnership with 1% for the Planet is another step in the right direction.”
Wim Ouboter, Micro Founder

- AIR Stations: modular container systems or educational spaces that serve as hubs for collaboration, awareness, exploration and activism.
- Ocean Uprise Summits: 5-day summits focused on scientific and cultural understanding of the marine environment and co-creating solutions, along with world-class speakers, educators and special guests.
- Ocean Cleanups: remove plastic debris from beaches, remote islands, rivers, mangroves, and the high seas.
- Events: events, such as World Oceans Week, Run for the Oceans and Ocean2Ocean, provide an overview of the state of the oceans with the goal of raising awareness, building collaborations and gaining support for initiatives, projects and solutions.





What are Parley’s education program achievements so far?

Partnering with local NGOs, government and state agencies, private businesses, waste management and logistical partners, marine experts and educational institutions allows Parley to work with the strengths of each community and approach solutions from all angles.
