Sustainable Sea & Ocean Solution

Sustainable Sea and Ocean Solutions establishes new technologies for aquaculture and marine and coastal cleanup applications.

What drives us

Healthy oceans and coastal areas are vital to the future of the planet.Increasing pollution and overfishing make research and innovation for sustainable use of the ocean habitat a major concern.

What we do

Our research project addresses both the causes and origins of air pollution, as well as new devices for removing plastic waste from the oceans and recycling ocean-derived plastic,

In this way we will be able to develop new technologies against the increasing marine pollution and surprise.

Three quarters of the garbage in the sea consists of plastic, specifically 4.8 - 12.7 million tons of plastic enter the oceans every year. This plastic is a constantly growing problem and costs tens of thousands of animals their lives every year. This is because it can take several hundred to thousands of years for plastic to completely decompose. Until then, it merely breaks down into smaller and smaller particles. These small, solid and water-insoluble plastic particles under 5 mm in size are called microplastics.
