‘We wanted to design something that could work anywhere’: How this Romanian-born startup is tackling marine plastic pollution

Recycllux is tackling marine plastic pollution with a platform connecting companies seeking to offset their plastic footprint with the local cleanup capacity.

From the more than 400 million tonnes of plastic that are produced yearly worldwide, more than 10 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers, and seas annually, UN data shows. As awareness of the issues stemming from plastic pollution is increasing, so are various regulatory measures meant to address it. For many companies, this means complying with additional norms and stricter sustainability reporting standards.
