Innovative Clean Waters and Circularity Solutions for Uptake

Overview

The 'Innovative Clean Waters and Circularity Solutions for Uptake' workshop is part of the Mission Ocean & Waters initiative, designed to facilitate knowledge exchange between solution providers and end-users. This interactive online event will gather participants from municipalities, national and regional authorities, waste management organizations, port authorities, industrial stakeholders, research institutions, and NGOs.

Key Innovations

Participants will explore groundbreaking solutions such as:

• SeaClear 2.0: An integrated fleet of autonomous robots that utilize AI to detect and collect marine litter.
• CAPTOPLASTIC: A non-toxic system for removing microplastics from water streams using magnetic particles.
• Bubble Barrier: A fish-friendly bubble curtain that guides plastic waste towards collection units, preventing pollution from reaching oceans.
• CirCleaner: A mechanical system that captures floating plastic debris before it can enter marine environments.

Objectives

The workshop aims to:

• Showcase innovative solutions from the Mission Ocean & Waters Solutions Library.
• Facilitate discussions on practical applications and collaboration opportunities.
• Enable participants to share experiences and strategies for tackling similar challenges across Europe.

Moderated by the Ecologic Institute and co-organized with Technopolis Group, this workshop represents a significant step towards achieving cleaner waters and promoting circular economy practices.
