Clean Energy Meets Rewilding as PLAN-B NET ZERO Joins Forces with Planet Wild

Big climate challenges need big ideas, and sometimes the best solutions come when two worlds collide. 

That is exactly what is happening with a new partnership between Swiss GreenTech company PLAN-B NET ZERO and Berlin-based rewilding organisation Planet Wild.

The two organisations have announced a strategic partnership that blends clean energy with large-scale nature restoration, proving that fighting climate change is not just about switching to renewable power, but also about helping the natural world recover.

And honestly? It makes perfect sense.

Solar panels, wind farms and greener energy systems are vital, but forests, wetlands, oceans and wildlife all play a huge role in keeping the planet balanced too. Healthy ecosystems absorb carbon, support biodiversity and help protect communities from environmental damage.

This new partnership aims to tackle both sides of the equation.

Planet Wild has quickly become one of Europe’s most talked-about conservation movements. Founded in 2022 by Markus Gilles, Jonas Brandau and Andreas Pursian, the organisation has built a huge online following through its ambitious rewilding missions, all documented publicly on YouTube.

What started with just 12 supporters has exploded into a global movement. By 2025, Planet Wild had completed more than 30 missions across 25 countries, with some projects attracting over €250,000 in community funding.

That growth shows something important, people want hopeful environmental stories. They want to see action, not just headlines.

Now, with PLAN-B NET ZERO becoming Planet Wild’s first official B2B Rewilding Partner, even more projects are on the horizon.

Upcoming missions are set to take place in Kenya, Argentina and Australia, focusing on restoring damaged ecosystems, protecting endangered species and working directly with local communities.

Julia Schnitger, Head of Marketing at PLAN-B NET ZERO, summed it up perfectly, saying that clean energy alone is not enough without healthy ecosystems to support a stable planet in the long term.

And that is the key takeaway here.

The future is not just about lowering emissions. It is about rebuilding the natural systems that make life possible in the first place.

Partnerships like this show that climate action and rewilding do not have to compete for attention. In reality, they work best together, and the planet desperately needs both.

Clean energy needs a clean planet: PLAN-B NET ZERO and everwave launch joint initiative

PLAN-B NET ZERO announces a strong start to 2026 as it enters into a partnership with the Aachen-based environmental scale-up, everwave. 

With the guiding principle ‘1 euro = 1 kilogram of waste’, the partners recovered 10,000 kilograms of waste from rivers in Cambodia at the start of the initiative.

Around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans every year. 

Without effective countermeasures, this volume could almost triple by 2040. Studies show that about 80 percent of marine plastic reaches the sea via roughly 1,656 rivers worldwide. To date, everwave has removed in excess of a staggering 2.4 million kilograms of plastic from rivers in Cambodia, Albania, and Thailand. 

The company uses specially-designed  waste collection boats, barriers, and manual cleanups to stop plastic before it reaches the oceans. 

At the same time, mobile sorting and recycling solutions return materials efficiently to the circular economy. AI support optimises collection routes to clean as many waterways as possible in a sustainable way.

The partnership began in Cambodia, where the initiative’s waste collection boats operate in rivers and canals around cities.

 With this action, PLAN-B NET ZERO and everwave advance their shared vision of a clean and sustainable future.

“Together with everwave, we have already removed 10,000 kilograms of waste from rivers in Cambodia. We want to use our good energy in the best possible way, because clean energy alone does not help without a clean planet,” Julia Schnitger, Head of Marketing at PLAN-B NET ZERO, proudly told That's Green.

everwave carries out cleanups directly on site and works closely with local authorities and partners. This structure anchors the measures long term in the regions and creates measurable impact.

PLAN-B NET ZERO transforms 100% sustainable energy from a commodity into a lifestyle product. 

Their platform expands energy supply with digital and service-based offerings, as well as software and licensing. 

Data-driven optimisation, user-focused features, and additional services beyond pure energy supply create a new, integrated user experience.
