Kia and The Ocean Cleanup Strengthen Operations to Accelerate River Plastic Removal in Guatemala

Kia has donated two trucks to its global partner, The Ocean Cleanup, to expedite the removal of plastic pollution from rivers in Guatemala. The initiative is the latest phase in Kia and The Ocean Cleanup’s long-term strategic alliance, which is dedicated to capturing river pollution before it enters the world’s oceans and to removing pollution that has already reached the oceans.
