Marine debris negatively impacts not only marine ecosystems but also industries such as fisheries and tourism, as well as human health. It is even predicted that by 2050, the amount of marine debris will surpass the quantity of fish.
To achieve long-term and sustainable use of marine resources, efforts are being made to develop innovative recovery technologies, establish business models, and create sustainable collection systems aimed at reducing marine debris.
Using low-cost recovery devices made from easily accessible materials like fishing nets and floats, we efficiently collect hard-to-retrieve marine debris from oceans, rivers, and the seabed. This contributes to environmental improvement in a sustainable way.
Visualizing global marine debris collection data on a map to share the outcomes of these activities. This approach encourages support from businesses and individuals, enabling the collection of more marine debris and promoting its recycling and resource recovery.
Sorting and processing the collected marine debris to regenerate it as reusable resources. By collaborating with companies and creators, trash is transformed into new products and materials to promote a sustainable circular economy.
