Eco Barge has excitedly announced their selection as one of six successful applicants for a grant under the Queensland Circular Economy (Industry-Research) program.
This initiative is supported by the Resources Centre of Excellence and the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation.
The Circular Economy program aims to drive industry-led research and innovation to transition from the traditional take-make-waste model to a sustainable circular economy.
This approach focuses on designing out waste and pollution, circulating products and materials at their highest value, and regenerating natural systems.
Eco Barge is dedicated to transforming marine debris collected by their passionate volunteers into valuable and saleable products.
This grant will enable them to enhance their efforts in keeping the Whitsunday seas clean while providing opportunities for skill development and program growth that align with the principles of the circular economy.
Eco Barge’s key project objectives are to Eliminate Waste and Pollution, circulate materials at their highest value, utilise advanced recycling technologies and create a closed-loop system where resources are continuously reused and repurposed.
Through these initiatives, Eco Barge is committed to contributing to the regeneration of natural systems and promoting sustainable practices. By actively participating in the circular economy, they strive to create a more resilient and sustainable future for the Greater Whitsunday Region.
