Using Earth Observation Data, AI And Blockchain
To Incentivize Marine Plastic Recycling

Problem

More than half of plastic becomes waste less than a year after it was produced, and most is sent to landfills or incinerators, rather than recycled or reused. 

This plastic, which either remains uncollected or ends up in illegal landfills and open dumps, is most likely to make its way into rivers, and eventually the sea. 

Numbers don't lie

5

Every day, on average 5 kilograms of marine plastic accumulates along each kilometre of coastline, and will keep growing as current plastic waste generation is expected to quadruple by 2050. 

12

12 million tones of plastic waste are leaked every year in the marine waters, it costs €75 billion to collect, while failure to recycle costs the world ’s economy $2.5 trillion

630

In Europe, €630 million are spent every year to cleanup marine plastic waste, while the failure to recycle costs the European economy €105 billion.

Pain points

While the EU urges measures to reduce marine litter, current efforts fall short in providing the tools needed to tackle this crisis effectively.

  • 1. No real-time data on marine debris accumulation.
  • 2. No data-driven tools for decision-making, adaptation planning, and monitoring.
  • 3. Inadequate management/monitoring of cleanup efforts to transparently demonstrate sustainability progress.

Furthermore, the companies compelled by regulatory requirements to address plastic pollution and demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations, lack a reliable solution to monitor and control their efforts transparently and share progress with consumers.

Solution

Recycllux® makes marine plastic waste cleanup both fast and efficient with deeptech (Earth Observation, Machine Learning & Blockchain).

Our proprietary AI algorithms analyze satellite data to identify plastic waste spots.

Then, our portal, powered by blockchain, connects responsible companies and administrations, fishing vessels, NGOs, and recyclers to facilitate end-to-end cleanup interventions.

We use blockchain to enable full chain of custody of marine plastic waste.

Why us?

  • 1. Holistic Approach: Every facet of the marine plastic pollution challenge
  • 2. Real-time Data-Driven: EO AI to automatically identify plastic litter spots
  • 3. Transparency and Trust: Blockchain trusted traceability
  • 4. Collaborative Ecosystem: Companies, authorities, fishing organizations, NGOs, recycling / repurposing firms
  • 5. Environmental and Economic Benefits: Timely interventions to deliver immediate impact.
