Fundación ECOALF - Upcycling the Oceans
Upcycling the Oceans is the main project of the Ecoalf Foundation and undoubtedly the most ambitious; an unprecedented worldwide adventure that fights against marine litter with the help of the fishing sector. An initiative of international scope that was born in Spain in 2015 and since then has also been implemented in Thailand, Greece, Italy and France. Ecoalf Foundation is currently working on its expansion to other countries in the Mediterranean basin. Thorugh the help of the fishermen, we collect marine waste and recycle it, creating new raw materials that can be used for industrial processes.
We have proved that the materials collected can be used as raw materials several industries, not only reducing the consumption of natural resources, but creating production processes based in less energy and water consumption.
