The team believe that we are deeply connected to nature. We are nature and we belong to the earth along with the other living beings. It is our responsibility to preserve, restore and regenerate the natural world, and we aspire to do so carefully and with empathy.

With the purpose of reconnecting people with nature, the Cleanwave Foundation strives to be a positive wave of action and hope, with the promise of working empathically and creatively with diverse communities to achieve tangible results.

In 2017, the Cleanwave founders, Line Hadsbjerg and Philipp Baier, together with the support of a dedicated team, set out to find solutions to prevent single-use plastic and create a movement of like-minded businesses and individuals who were committed to shifting the single-use culture to a reuse mindset. This was achieved by creating the first network of water refill points across the Balearic Islands, where residents and tourists can fill their reusable water bottles, thus providing an alternative solution to plastic water bottles.

The initiative grew rapidly, which led to developing a creative educational program, producing an award winning documentary film , installing the first, of now many, public water fountains in the streets of Palma, in collaboration with the local government, mobilising community engagement and providing single-use plastic free water solutions to events across the islands.

Together with a passionate and dedicated team, they share a vision of the Balearics to be a globally recognised template and role model for regenerative living by 2030.
