SDG 14: Life Below Water
Marine pollution, majority of which comes from land-based sources in developing countries, is reaching alarming levels with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic waste in every square kilometre of ocean. Blue Planet’s technologies aim to solve this by processing and upcycling waste into useful resources and therefore discouraging leakage into rivers and seas.

Forests and the biodiversity they support are critical to ensure a healthy ecosystems for humans and other wildlife. By recycling and upcycling waste, Blue Planet indirectly helps in reducing the dependency on virgin materials like plastics and precious metals, thereby reducing need for extensive mining and extraction which is a significant reason for increasing rate of deforestation in the world.
