The goal is to enhance the recyclability percentage of the materials and plastics recovered from the sea and ports, in collaboration with traditional fishermen. While mechanical recycling of polyethylene and polypropylene has been achieved through manual separation, a solution for polyamide is still being sought. Additionally, there is a search for the development of a project to separate all retrieved materials in a single tank. Partnerships with experts, companies, technological centers, or any relevant entities are being pursued to support this effort - Advantages and Innovations
- This innovative company engages in collaborative efforts with fishermen and divers to remove plastic from the sea and ports, promoting environmental sustainability. By leveraging Blockchain technology, they accurately measure and track the impact of their actions, ensuring transparency and accountability. Transforming marine plastic into sustainable products not only closes the loop of the circular economy but also generates value for impactful projects. This approach not only mitigates marine pollution but also fosters social responsibility by supporting local communities. Through these initiatives, the company enhances its brand reputation while contributing to positive environmental and social outcomes.

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
In our quest to find a suitable partner, we are seeking an entity with extensive expertise and knowledge in recycled plastics, materials, and recycling processes, particularly related to the specific requirements of our search for a recycling plant. The expected role of the partner would be multifaceted and pivotal to the success of our endeavor.
First and foremost, the partner should possess deep insights and experience in the field of recycled plastics, including an in-depth understanding of various types of plastics, their properties, and their applications. This expertise is crucial in evaluating the technical capabilities of potential recycling plants and ensuring that they can effectively process the materials in question – polyamide 6 fishing nets, ropes, and gear, as well as polyamide 66 materials.
Furthermore, we are looking for a partner who is well-versed in recycling technologies and processes, particularly mechanical recycling methods. Their knowledge in this area will be instrumental in assessing the suitability of recycling plants for our needs, particularly their ability to mechanically recycle polyamide materials and conduct density-based separation of plastics, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyamide.
Additionally, the partner should bring valuable insights into the sustainability and environmental impact of recycling processes. They should be able to provide guidance on best practices for sustainable recycling and help us evaluate the environmental credentials of potential partners and their facilities.
Beyond technical expertise, we value a partner who is collaborative, proactive, and committed to our shared goals of promoting sustainability and combating plastic pollution. They should be willing to actively engage with us throughout the partnership, offering support, advice, and guidance as needed.
Overall, the ideal partner will play a crucial role in guiding us through the process of identifying and selecting a suitable recycling plant, ensuring that it meets our technical requirements, sustainability goals, and commitment to environmental responsibility. Together, we aim to make meaningful strides towards a more sustainable future, one plastic recycling plant at a time. - Type and Size of Partner
