“Please watch this short video demonstrating the use of the innovative collection technology created for this project.”
European Waste Free Oceans is an industry-led initiative with the aim of reducing floating marine debris on Europe’s coastlines by 2020. Using existing fishing trawls and new technology, EWFO will engage Europe’s fishing community in cleaning up floating marine debris and bring it back to land for recycling and sorting. The time has come for industry to act together in tackling this growing problem and ensuring the health and purity of Europe’s coastal waters.
