At Big Ass Fans, we believe in a future where our oceans are free from plastic pollution, and we’re committed to doing our part to make that vision a reality. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with 4ocean, a movement dedicated to cleaning our waterways and oceans from harmful plastic debris. Together, we’re taking meaningful action to fight ocean plastic pollution—and with every Haiku Coastal fan we sell, we’re helping remove an equivalent weight of waste from our planet’s most vital ecosystems.

Founded by two surfers who saw firsthand the damage caused by ocean plastic, 4ocean has grown into a worldwide movement, removing over 15.4 million kilograms of plastic and debris from our oceans, rivers, and coastlines since 2017. Their efforts are nothing short of inspiring, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with them in the fight to help end ocean plastic pollution.

The team at 4ocean is made up of passionate individuals, from full-time captains to cleanup crews, all united by the mission to restore the health of our planet’s waterways. Now, with Big Ass Fans as an official Ocean Plastic Neutral Partner, we’re contributing to this work by offsetting our plastic usage. For every Haiku Coastal fan we sell, we will remove an equivalent weight of waste from the world’s oceans, rivers, and waterways.

As part of this partnership, we’re excited to introduce our newest fan—Haiku Coastal. This marine-grade, storm-ready fan is the first of its kind. Designed to withstand the harshest coastal environments, Haiku Coastal combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable materials to provide superior airflow while maintaining resistance to salt, wind, and corrosion. Haiku Coastal delivers durable, design-forward airflow that keeps your space comfortable and energy-efficient.

why it matters

Ocean plastic is a growing crisis that threatens marine life, ecosystems, and our global environment. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter our oceans, with devastating consequences for marine animals and their habitat. By offsetting our plastic usage, Big Ass Fans is helping to take tangible steps toward reversing this damage, and we are proud to be part of a solution that addresses the cause of the problem.

Through our partnership with 4ocean, we’re not just supporting cleanup efforts—we’re also creating awareness of the importance of reducing plastic use and adopting sustainable practices. Our commitment to the planet extends beyond our products; it’s embedded in our values and how we operate as an organisation.

At Big Ass Fans, we understand that businesses have a critical role to play in solving the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. This partnership is a clear example of how we’re integrating sustainability into every facet of our operations, from the products we design to the way we engage with the world around us. It’s a commitment that sets a new standard for the industry and challenges others to do the same.
