Scientific collaboration

BCSS started working with Universal Plastic in 2023, a new
organisation contributing to insights into the transparency
and traceability of marine debris on a global scale using AI
algorithms and blockchain technology. Their tracking system
aims to close the plastic waste circle. The Momerandum of
Understanding was signed in March 2023. Traced data reveals
the true uses and routes of plastic waste globally, facilitating
data and therefore greater control over the CO2 footprint of
plastic waste. With the scientific advisory from BCSS UP will
leverage BCSS’s data towards quantification of the pollution
impact on the environment in general and marine ecosystems
in particular.
