BlueCycle is a Blue and Circular economy program aimed at utilizing plastics derived from fishing and shipping.
The aim is to create high quality raw material, suitable for reintegration into industry and to promote a holistic approach to tackling the problem of plastic waste ending up in the sea.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a new "cycle" for plastics used in fisheries and shipping.
We rely on research, new technologies, innovation and creativity and propose sustainable solutions to the problem of marine plastic waste.
We follow modern practices and operate with the protection of the marine environment in mind.
We see the possibilities beyond the material.
OUR HISTORY
Our story begins in 2017, with Second Nature, an initiative of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation in collaboration with the architectural duo The New Raw. In order to raise public awareness about the problem of abandoned nets at sea, but also the possibility of utilizing them using new technologies, the Foundation undertook the production of the documentary Second Nature which was realized by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daphne Matziaraki. Starting with the film, the idea was born to create a comprehensive program, which will utilize the plastic waste from fishing and shipping.
And because the solution lies in synergies, we shared our idea with people and organizations that are active in key sectors, links in the chain of production and consumption of plastic equipment, research, environmental protection. So we create an innovative program and become part of the solution.
The BlueCycle program operates under the auspices of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation.
