The Clean Oceans ecosystem is well-equipped for innovative initiatives, with more than 60 members spanning technology developers, research institutions, advisors, government bodies, and start-ups. Their network contains expertise in mapping, identification and analysis of a wide range of marine pollution and litter, as well as cleanup and waste management, including handling of discarded fishing gear.

With partners from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Poland, the aim is to identify opportunities and best practices for collecting and recycling ocean-bound plastic from the harbours in the region.

The aim of OPIM is to bring complementary parties together to tackle the issue of ocean plastic pollution through the commercialisation of recovered plastic as high as possible in the value chain.
