REMEDIES project

INFORDATA SISTEMI FOR

PREVENTING, MINIMIZING, AND FIXING WASTE AND PLASTIC POLLUTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN

Infordata Sistemi keeps its commitment to projects related to environmental sustainability.

The European Union has launched a new program called Horizon Mission: Oceans, Seas, and Waters, aiming at preserving, protecting, and restoring the health of our seas. The Mission is designed to achieve the objectives set by the European Union by 2030 for the protection and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity of EU oceans, seas, and waters.

REMEDIES is the first project selected by the new Horizon Mission program to monitor and collect plastic waste and reduce the amount of (micro)plastics in the Mediterranean.

This project is coordinated by the Slovenian National Institute of Chemistry, leveraging the technological know-how of 22 partners in 12 different countries, including Infordata Sistemi.

The main objective of the REMEDIES project is to raise public interest in using remedies for our seas. Efforts to monitor and collect plastic waste, and primarily prevent waste generation, should become a daily habit and part of our lives.

All innovative solutions will be tested at 9 demonstration sites in 8 Mediterranean countries. After validation, they will be implemented in 33 new sites to be used throughout the Mediterranean.

Objectives:

  • Monitoring macro and microplastic waste in 8 areas of the Mediterranean.
  • Collecting and recovering at least 422 tons of plastic waste.
  • Preventing further deposition of an equivalent of at least 61 tons of plastic.
  • Reaching at least 250,000 people and engage more than 2,000 citizens.
  • Expanding and replicating “zero-waste” innovations in 50 other sites.
