Solving the Ocean Pollution Crisis (Why We Do What We Do)
Read more
Our founder, Mathilda D'Silva's life changed when water pollution set her on a journey to solve the ocean pollution crisis. Leaving the security of corporate life 👋🏻, she began the Ocean Purpose Project amidst unprecedented challenges such as the global pandemic 😷. Since then, she has initiated multiple purpose projects focused on ocean conservation and reducing water pollution through OPP 🌊♻️✨ In just a year, OPP’s 3 pillars – Plastic to fuel, bioplastics and behavioural change–are focusing our technology and effort towards disrupting ocean conservation with our innovative solutions💡 “I want to go to work in shorts 🩳 and slippers 🩴. Be by or on the water everyday. Working for a purpose with driven individuals with a high sense of integrity. That’s the life I crafted for myself- yes it comes at a price, no sparkling pay packet like before 💸. But freedom to work, live and play the way I define it? That’s priceless 🤩” - Mathilda D’Silva --- 🌊 Our Projects 🌊 : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... 💡 OPPORTUNITY Series 💡 : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn... --- #OceanPurposeProject #OPP #BehaviourChange #ClimateChange #OceanProtection #GlobalAwareness #WhyWeDoWhatWeDo #SupportOrganization #OceanConservation #Bioplastics #PlasticToFuel #BeachCleanups #Sustainability #Sustainable #ClimateCrisis #People #GrowthNonprofits & Activism

After a clean-up, what happens to all that trash? At present, most of it is being incinerated in Singapore, including at least 40% of recyclables that are considered “contaminated” when not properly rinsed or when mixed with non-recyclable material. But what if we could turn all that trash into treasure? With our Ocean Purpose Project (OPP) Plastic To Fuel (PTF) units, we can: ✅ Deploy this portable solution onboard maritime vessels, landfills or coastal communities to handle plastic waste ✅ Transform the waste into lucrative low-sulphur fuel, carbon black and carbon nanotubes, and ✅ Create a profit incentive for corporates and communities to collect plastic waste! Reach out to us to learn how Plastic to Fuel can transform your landfills into high-value products! 🥳 Drop us a DM or email at partnerships@oceanpurposeproject.com. --- 🌊 Our Projects 🌊 : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... 💡 OPPORTUNITY Series 💡 : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn... --- #OPP #OceanPurposeProject #StartTodaySaveTomorrow #PlasticToFuel #SaveTheEarth #SustainableLifestyle #FightClimateChange #ZeroWaste #WasteFree #EcoConscious #SustainableDevelopment #ReduceWaste #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Sustainable #SustainableLivingScience & Technology
