OCEANWISE PROJECT

We have been working together with people who produce EPS and XPS, who design products that use these materials, people who need them in their industries, who manage EPS and XPS waste, and people who buy goods with EPS and XPS. We need all the stakeholders and to address the entire life cycle of foamed polystyrene products to reduce its leakage to the oceans... Our team comprises 13 partners from 5 Atlantic Area countries - Portugal, Ireland, France, Spain and the United Kingdom... Hosted by the OceanWise INTERREG Atlantic Area Project and organized by Design Factory Aveiro (DFA), this initiative challenged participants to create innovative solutions to solve problems linked to the worrying source of foamed polystyrene products (EPS and XPS) marine litter in the Atlantic Ocean, an issue the OceanWise project has been focusing on in the past 3 years.
