Ocean plastic hackathons

Hosted by the OceanWise INTERREG Atlantic Area Project and organized by Design Factory Aveiro (DFA), this initiative challenged participants to create innovative solutions to solve problems linked to the worrying source of foamed polystyrene products (EPS and XPS) marine litter in the Atlantic Ocean, an issue the OceanWise project has been focusing on in the past 3 years.

We organized four ocean plastic hackathons with different teams, approaches and mentors that ended-up with creative solutions for a diverse range of contexts linked to the global problem.
