Projects adapted to each phase of the plastic lifecycle
Production phase:
Use of naturally biodegradable materials
to reduce the life expectancy of materials
Scale has developed a material designed at 100
% from fish scales from the fishery.Algopack has developed a plastic-like material made 100% from algae.
Phase of use:
Awareness of reasoned use of plastic
to reduce plastic consumption … the less plastic we consume, the less plastic there will be in the oceans.
Marine LitterWatch is an application carried out by the European Environmental Agency that aims to inform news about the problem of plastic at sea.Oceanoplastic identifies sources of pollution and contributes to their reduction through awareness, education, accountability, and collaborative search for solutions.Race For Water is an organization that aims to raise public awareness of plastic pollution through research, information sharing during interventions, and by proposing solutions. Expeditions with a boat using 100% renewable energy are also carried out to raise awareness among as many people as possible. Respect Ocean is a network of players committed to sustainable economic development for the ocean.
Waste phase:
Waste collection at sea
Plastic at sea destabilizes marine biodiversity and our food chain … collecting waste means limiting the damage and it’s possible!
ReSeaClons is a creative association of circular economy sectors on the collection and recycling of plastic waste.PlasticWhale is an Amsterdam-based company that manufactures furniture and boats with plastic waste found at sea.Seaqual is an association aimed at giving a second life to plastic waste recovered at sea. I Clean My Sea is a company that has developed ways to detect plastic at sea in order to recover it from the mouths of rivers (the main source of plastic pollution at sea).
