Innovating a sea change in reducing plastic waste _ GreenBiz.com - Green Business News | Meeresvermüllung & Müll im Meer - Nachrichten Dritter | Scoop.it

The problem of proliferating plastic waste on land and in the ocean was one of the many focuses of last month’s Rio+20 conference. One side event, Plasticity, focused on how companies and their stakeholders can find solutions by scaling up new technologies, products and processes.

 

A new plastics partnership

“Plastic is great for many uses, but when we throw so much of it away it is bound to build up in our communities in ways that have negative impacts, and that is what we are seeing today around the world and in the ocean ecosystem,” said Doug Woodring, organizer of Plasticity and founder of Ocean Recovery Alliance. He hopes Plasticity will be seen as a turning point in transitioning post-consumer plastic from waste to a renewable resource with numerous business opportunities.

(german version below)

 

Floating Horizon - Open Community Project for technology development to recover / filter waste out of the ocean.

 

The problem of waste in our oceans has produced some interesting concepts in the recent year.

 

Hardly one of them except Karzai has continued to progress. The problem is a combination of unanswered technological questions and a financial situation which is dependent on funding. In order to proceed I would like to create a community that addresses the Central question of Floating Horizon:

How could a sustainable, workable solution look like? Could it be build? Is there a real opportunity to filter waste from the sea without causing additional damage yet?

 

The participation is open and the project looks forward to your help. The Project is volunteer based right now. Write me at info@ralphschneider.de

 

Some of the questions which we will tackle are:

_ What can additionally reduce waste and improve recycling to be done to keep the oceans clean in the future?

_ Is an autonomous robot off-shore trawlers the route of choice?

_ How can OCEAN areas like the 2 million square kilometers large "North Pacific Garbage Patch" be filtered with an eye on resources and cost in a reasonable time, in an environmentally friendly way?

_ How can a business model look like? 

 

 

 

GERMAN Version:

 

Floating Horizon - Offene Projektgemeinschaft zur Technologieentwicklung gegen Müll im Meer.

 

Die Filterung von Müll im Meer hat in den letzten Jahren einige spannende Konzepte hervorgebracht. Kaum eins davon ausser KARSAI ist weiter vorangeschritten. Das Problem ist Vielschichtig mit vielen offenen Fragen und einer Finanzierungslage die auf Förderungen angewiesen ist. Um sich dem anzunehmen möchte ich gerne eine Gemeinschaft gruenden, die sich dem annimmt.

 

Leitfrage von Floating Horizon:

Wie koennte eine nachhaltige, praktikable Lösung aufgebaut sein, die eine reale Chance ermöglicht Müll aus dem Meer zu filtern ohne einen noch gösseren Schaden zu verursachen?

 

Der Mitgestaltungsrahmen ist offen und das Projekt freut sich auf Eure Mithilfe. Die Prjekt ist Ehrenamtlich. Schreibt mich an info@ralphschneider.de

 

Fragen die es zu klaeren gilt sind u.a.:

_ Was kann zusaetzlich zur Müllvermeidung und besseren Kreislaufwirtschaft getan werden, um in Zukunft die Ozeane sauberer zu halten?

_ Ist ein autonomer Off-Shore Roboter Trawler der Weg der Wahl?

_ Wie koennen OZEAN.Bereiche, 2 Million quadrat kilometer "North Pacific Garbage Patch", in einer ueberschaubaren Zeit kosten, ressourcen und umweltschonend gesäubert werden?

_ Wie kann ein Geschaeftsmodell aussehen?
