Coastruction

Coastruction

Stand: Ocean Conservation, Aquaculture, Green Ports, Blue Circularity

Overview:

Coastruction produces complex concrete artificial reefs using unique in-house 3D printing technology and natural-only materials with a sustainable and circular process.
Coral reefs are under enormous pressure. 50% of coral reefs worldwide are already dead and >90% of coral reefs will likely die by 2030. Our mission is to face this challenge, restoring reef systems and protecting coastlines thanks to our 3D printing powder bed technology which combines innovative tech and natural materials to create revitalizing free-form complex reef structures. We want to allow our technology to be deployable in remote locations inspiring people to achieve a sustainable relationship with marine ecosystems, using local materials and help marine communities to restore the reef and all marine life thanks to the multipurpose structures created with our 3D printer. The condition of the reefs simply demands an immediate action and Coastruction is one of the most reliable, biologically effective and innovative solution to it.

CLEAR RIVERS

CLEAR RIVERS

Stand: Ocean Conservation, Green Ports, Blue Bioeconomy, Blue Circularity

Overview:

CLEAR RIVERS is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands. Founded in 2014, CLEAR RIVERS addresses the issue of worldwide plastic pollution. Our mission is to significantly reduce the amount of plastic that enters our oceans by retrieving it before it reaches the open waters. For this purpose, we have designed Litter Traps made of recycled plastics that can easily be transported and implemented in different rivers. Our Litter Traps passively collect waste, using wind and water currents. Additionally, CLEAR RIVERS works to raise awareness of plastic pollution amongst students and local communities and to recycle the retrieved plastics into new and durable products.
