An opportunity to reduce the environmental footprint

Wealth from waste in Northern and Artic marine regions: Local enterprises in remote northern coastal economies create smart new industries from plastic marine waste to revive economies and keep the environment clean. These initiatives have real potential to become self-sustaining and unlock hidden economic opportunities. As well, by “staying local’, communities have the opportunity to see fishing nets and marine litter as a raw material as well as an opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint.
