Re-Shape Plastic

Skopelos Dive Center P.C.

The Skopelos Dive Centre association wanted to try out a low-tech waste recovery solution on the Sporades Islands.

Main results of the project:

  • The project enabled data on marine waste to be collected and published, both in reports and via the PADI Aware platform. Stakeholders were mapped, identifying an expert in recycling machine manufacturing. A prototype was manufactured from the plastic collected, but the planned design competition did not take place due to technical constraints. A pilot workshop was nevertheless launched with the necessary machines.
  • Awareness-raising activities were carried out online (webinars, social media posts and blogs) due to health restrictions and were well received.
