OFE Star Rating System

As a certified OFE, you have the opportunity to earn our highest rating as a 5-star establishment! In the next box, list your business' sustainable practices. The OFE committee will review the list and award your establishment with a star rating. The rating system is based on the number of ocean friendly practices implemented (as noted below).

Star Levels:
1 Star = 2-3 Ocean Friendly Business Practices
2 Stars = 4-5 Ocean Friendly Business Practices
3 Stars = 6-7 Ocean Friendly Business Practices
4 Stars = 8-9 Ocean Friendly Business Practices
5 Stars = 10+ Ocean Friendly Business Practices

Examples of ocean friendly practices in non-restaurant establishments include the use of electronic documentation and correspondence when possible, double-sided documents when material must be printed, light switches on motion timers, air dryers in bathrooms, cigarette recycling or disposal receptacles, proper recycling/compost bins, and many more.

List any other practices/policies your business has in place that are "ocean-friendly." For every 2 practices listed, you will earn 1 star. You may earn a maximum of 5 stars. You may separate each practice with a comma (,) or number each practice (1.,2.,3.).

By electronically signing, I acknowledge all of the following. Please CHECK ALL BOXES to receive an OFE certification.

I acknowledge that I am an owner or designated signee of the listed establishment and agree that the establishment will continue to make decisions to protect our oceans.

I accept the Ocean Friendly Establishment certification as given by Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. and NC Aquariums. I also agree to be listed as an OFE on the websites and social media pages of these organizations.

I agree that the information completed on this form may be shared publicly. This agreement allows for the Ocean Friendly Establishment Campaign to operate with integrity and transparency.

I understand that volunteers may follow up with me, either by email or by visiting the establishment, to offer support for my ongoing commitment to being "ocean friendly." I have been informed that I may request volunteers to provide brief educational presentations for me and my staff.

I understand that if non-compliance with this agreement becomes a consistent and long-term pattern, OFE representatives reserve the right to remove my establishment from their websites and social media pages.
