SDG 14

GOAL: CONSERVE AND SUSTAINABLY USE THE OCEANS, SEAS AND MARINE RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

“Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence. They cover 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. Yet, we have managed to do tremendous damage to these precious resources. We must protect them by eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and protect all marine life around the world.”

Enactus Project Inspiration

 

Marine Moulders, Enactus Sheffield

Marine Moulders are empowering local fishing communities to recycle their plastics into useful products themselves, both improving their livelihood and their surrounding environment. 

Their three main goals: 

- Significantly reduce the amount of ocean plastic 

- Create a small-scale waste management system that can repurpose plastic waste into useful products 

- Empower the local people in the Sri Lankan communities we work with 


 

 

Want to know what makes Marine Moulders an EXCELLENT Enactus Project? Read on below!

    • 80% of waste in the Ocean is plastic, and is currently damaging the environment when it could be repurposed for good.

    • Marine Moulders are developing and making an injection moulder that re-moulds plastic waste into useful products. The long-term aim of the project is that this small-scale waste management system will be taken to Sri Lanka and given to members of the coastal communities so they can remould ocean plastic.

    • This will empower the local fishing communities to recycle their plastics into useful products themselves, both improving their livelihood and their surrounding environment.

    • They are currently using the injection moulder to make and sell plant pots to local shops and university students in Sheffield until they gain the funds to trial the project abroad.

  • Still in the early stages, we look forward to reporting on the impact that Marine Moulders will create!
