Clean Aegean program
Together for a clean Aegean!
We collect plastics from the seas and coasts of the Aegean, which are recycled and contribute to the Circular Economy.
2021: COAST AND SEA CLEANING ON THE ISLAND OF ASTYPALAIA
During 2021, the program was implemented in the area of Astypalaia with the contribution of at least 4 fishing vessels. The 4.5 tons of plastic collected from the sea were transported to recycling facilities to be recorded and sorted, in collaboration with Enaleia’s certified partners.
Some of the collected plastic was then turned into recycled clothing, to be integrated into the circular economy.
2022: COAST AND SEA CLEANING ON THE ISLAND OF KYTHNOS
Under the initiative “A Clean Aegean,” the program, after focusing on the island of Astypalea, is setting sail this year for the island of Kythnos. The goal is to collect 4,500 kilograms of plastic and other waste from the sea and coastal areas, as well as to prevent plastic pollution from fishing nets. The program is being implemented in collaboration with My market stores.
2023: COASTAL AND MARINE CLEANUP ON THE ISLAND OF ANDROS
In 2023, following our efforts on the island of Kythnos, our actions continued the island of Andros with the goal of collecting 4,500 kilograms of plastic and other waste from the sea and coastal areas, as well as preventing plastic pollution from fishing nets. The program was implemented in collaboration with My market stores for the fourth consecutive year!
