Leonardo GR & Project Rescue Ocean become partners
over 1 year ago1 kgplastic recovered
Joining forces and know how to raise awareness toward plastic pollution and recycling activities for a cleaner environment and a circular economy.
Leonardo GR & Project Rescue Ocean association will team up in the coming weeks thanks to Rosita beer to organize for a local wetland clean up in the … Region gathering children and grown ups.
Project Rescue Ocean is a environmental NGO acting across the world to raise awareness among young people and the general public about the protection of the environment through awareness-raising and environmental stewardship actions.
Project Rescue Ocean aims to carry out different types of actions:
- Raising awareness among the general public, with with special emphasis on young people about the state of coastal ecosystems,
- To carry out actions to decontaminate beaches, harbors, creeks beaches, harbors, creeks, rivers and oceans,
- Communicate the environmental impact of the waste found and find possible second uses,
- Create new awareness actions for children and adults about the protection of the planet.
During the whole day we will proceed together with a group of volunteers to the cleaning of the Carraixet River – peixets’ beach and the area of the Albufera of Valencia.
These are areas where a lot of garbage coming from the surrounding towns are throwed into the irrigation ditches and reach costal area.

#PLASTICFREEOCEANS
over 1 year ago
2 kg
plastic recovered
According to the European Commission, fishing gear and single-use plastics account for 70% of marine litter in Europe.
Each year, around 640.000 tons of fishing nets are abandoned in the ocean and fishing ports.
It is estimated that nowadays less tan 1.5% of this waste is recycled (The Ocean Cleanup), not only one of the most abundant plastic waste in our oceans but also the worst for marine life.
From Gravity Wave we’ve been facing up this problem in the Mediterranean Sea since 2020. First, by collaborating with both traditional fishermen and companies, we collect all kinds of plastic from the sea (including discarded fishing nets from fishing ports). In a second stage, as Gravity Wave, we are specialized in the recycling of those ghost and discarded fishing nets.
To this day, we have already achieved to create a stable recycling process to transform PE fishing nets into beautiful furniture, but we are always under continuous R&D processes that allow us to recycle both more types of nets (different types of nets, different plastics, different recycling needs) and in larger volumes.
These funds will help us to take our industrial recycling tests one step further. One step more towards one of our main purpose:
“Move those plastics and fishing nets away from our oceans and transform them into valuable raw material for the industry”.

Electric tricycles for plastic collection ♻️
over 1 year ago
1 kg
plastic recovered
Achievement completed
In 2020 we acquired three electric tricycles for recycling operations in the Quintero commune. These tricycles were used to transport plastics from the Recycling Module to our facilities, to perform beach cleanups and to carry out awareness-raising activities in schools.
In addition to being electric vehicles which do not emit CO2 into the environment, we use photovoltaic panels to recharge them, which makes a large part of our operations with a low CO2 footprint.
Currently these tricycles are out of service because their batteries, after two years of intensive use, said enough. In addition to needing a change of batteries, it is necessary to change the tires (the old ones will be recycled correctly 😉) lights, brakes and motion sensors.
We are asking for your support to put these tricycles back into circulation and to be able to continue our plastic recovery operation with a low CO2 footprint.
