To achieve this, we have agreements with traditional fishermen who clean plastic from the Mediterranean and we pay them for every kilo of waste they clean. Once we have collected the plastic, we separate and classify it for recycling, focusing on fishing nets, one of the most harmful waste to the marine ecosystem and which represents 40% of the plastic we collect from the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Gravity Wave&#8217;s mission is to transform 100% of the plastic waste cleaned from the Mediterranean into high-value products. In this part of the project we rely on CMPLASTIK, with whom we work in the manufacture of very special materials and unique finishes that we develop for our partners.<\/p>\n<p>At Gravity Wave we focus on understanding waste, its valorisation, optimal recycling and possibilities of transformation into new products, and on involving designers, companies, public entities and individuals in including our recycled materials in their collections and products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5488,"template":"","categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5512","iniciativa","type-iniciativa","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-study-iniciativas-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/iniciativa\/5512\/"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/iniciativa\/"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/iniciativa\/"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5488\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/?parent=5512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/?post=5512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/encircular.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/?post=5512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
