Seaqual's collaborative model involves NGO's, fishermen, researchers, scientists, authorities and private stakeholders. The Seaqual initiative also contributes to revalue post-consumer waste lost in the environment by developing and supporting cleaning initiatives, engaging and inspiring industry and consumers.
Products with ‘upcycled marine plastic’ have certified material traceability (DNA tracer inside). This certification forms part of an exclusive licensing system created by Seaqual connecting the value chain.
Collaborating with Seaqual, helps brands in supporting this virtuous economic model to help end plastic pollution, driving communities to circularity.
Seaqual's starting point was the Mediterranean Sea, in the coast of Spain with more than 1500 fishermen and 400 ships. Seaqual has initially focused its efforts on upcycling the plastic found in their fishing nets. Then scaled up from Europe to extend Seaqual network to Asia and Africa, not only linking with local fishermen but also authorities, beach and other cleaning initiatives.
At Première Vision fair, Seaqual will be exhibited at Sampaio & Filhos, Catland, Gipitex, Gruppo Dondi, Lemar, Ima – Leandro Manuel Araujo, Matias – Araujo, Pontetorto, Setex Textil, Sofileta, Somelos Tecidos, Sportwear Argentona, Tejidos Rebes, Textil Santanderina, Tiba Tricot, Tmg Textiles, Verne et Clet.
Seaqual voices an emotion and the commitment to offer humankind the power of having the choice towards a Clean Ocean. (PC)
