Ocean Purpose Project – Marine Environment & Content Intern

The Ocean Purpose Project (OPP) is a Singaporean social enterprise driving ocean conservation and plastic pollution prevention via disruptive and creative projects with mass scale impact.

OPP believes in disrupting the sustainability sector by thinking out of the box. Its unique selling point is to use innovative technology that is yet to enter the Singapore market, such as “plastic to fuel” and bioplastics. The organization also holds frequent offline and online events to educate Singaporeans on its sustainability efforts. We are looking for dynamic, creative and hard working individuals with a strong sense of integrity, compassion and community mindedness.
