Start year 2020 End year 2023 Funding (€) € 7,430,636 Website https://www.innoplastic.eu/ Summary Plastic waste severely impacts marine and local ecosystems, requiring innovative cleaning approaches. The EU-funded In-No-Plastic project will develop and demonstrate nanoplastic, microplastic and macroplastic cleaning technologies based on a combined methodology of social and technical removal strategies. The project will focus on industrial hotspots through cooling water systems, harbours, lagoons, shores and shallow sea water. The technical strategy consists of the comparison between existing methods and multiple developing technologies for the removal of plastics at different testing areas in Europe and the Caribbean. The social strategy focusses on the engagement of the local population by incentivising plastic recovery in return for monetary or another recompense. The project will also investigate different recycling methods, aiming to connect plastic removal with circularity.
