We're looking for partners for the #BlueEconomy call by @circ_digi !
Our goals?
1) monitor and quantify plastics in rivers🧿 🧿
2) intercept it before it reaches the ocean! 🌊♻️🌎

We're looking for partners for this call by @circ_digi on #BlueEconomy!
Our goal is to address marine ecosystem protection by further developing our #RiverEye and #RiverCleaner systems to monitor and intercept #plastic!
Please RT to help us find the right match, or DM for info!
Yesterday we took part in #unpoprimadelmare: the largest ever #CleanUp on the Po river!
Thanks to @plasticfreeit, we also had the chance to present #RiverEye, our revolutionary #AI-based system to quantify the flow of #plastic in rivers, which has already started collecting data!
It's a BIG DAY for us: our first #RiverEye system is up and running on the Po river! Thanks @plasticfreeit for making this possible. 🌊♻️🌎
We will be collecting data on the flow of plastics for the next few weeks, and we can't wait to share our results!
Follow us for updates!
To effectively tackle #PlasticPollution, we need integrated solutions to detect and intercept both macro and microplastics in rivers.
That's why we're exploring collaboration potentials with @oceandiagnstics, a company working on cutting-edge microplastic sampling technologies.
@blueecoline è una start up che ha avuto un’intuizione che potrebbe aiutare a liberare gli oceani dalla plastica che li soffoca. La maggior parte di rifiuti plastici presenti arrivano dai fiumi ed è lì che il sistema River Cleaner agisce. i404.it/we4agenda2030/oceani…
Happy #EarthDay everyone! 🌎🌿🌊
This morning we shared thoughts and ideas on #PlasticPollution with a very lively class of students!
They asked more than 20 questions at the end. It's refreshing to see environmental awareness growing fast!
#GenerationRestoration#EarthDay2021
Most of the #plastic comes from #rivers, but almost no data on floating macro #litter input to the seas is available!
The lack of data is a constraint for research, awareness and action.
We're getting ready to fill in the gap with #RiverEye, an innovative AI-based solution!
#CitizenScience projects such as @OpenLitterMap will also play a crucial role in collecting data on litter and #PlasticPollution.
If you're aware of similar monitoring projects (especially for rivers and plastic), please share them here with us! 🌊♻️
A material that didn’t exist two centuries ago is now everywhere. "We will have to rethink, as a society, how we produce, use and dispose of plastics".
A very interesting article by @some_yeo on #PlasticPollution!

Working together on new projects and ideas always brings a smile to our faces: here's a snapshot from our last meeting!
Follow us for updates on our #RiverCleaner and #RiverEye projects, and for heads-up on seminars and events on #PlasticPollution!

This is no #AprilFool's joke: more than 200,000 tonnes of #plastic (mostly macroplastic from inland) leak into the #Mediterranean every year.
Once the birthplace of great civilisations, the Mediterranean is turning into the graveyard of plastics. Read"Mare Plasticum" today!
Though it is 1 April, #plasticpollution is no joke.
The Mediterranean is the birthplace of great civilisations – Egyptian, Hellenistic, Roman, Ottoman – and is also the graveyard of plastics.
