PIANETA BLU Project
OUR COMMITMENT FOR THE SEA
Until today, thanks to the collaboration with Ogyre and the Pianeta Blu product, approximately 8,000 kg of marine waste have been collected, equal to 800,000 plastic bottles. Our commitment to the sea does not end here. We have renewed the partnership, committing to finance the collection of a total of 38,000 kg of marine waste by 2027.
Four us at Duferco Energia, sustainability is key. This is why we have one of the most concerning environmental issues at heart, which is the presence of waste in the seas around the world.
To make a contribution in this direction, for the last two years, we have signed a partnership with Ogyre to support the collection of marine waste. Together with them, we have also created PIANETA BLU – Blue Planet – the product which gives all customers the opportunity to do their part. In fact, with €1 a month on your bill, you will contribute to the collection and disposal of marine litter.
This is only the first step. By activating your profile on the Ogyre platform, you will be able to see in real time the routes of the fishermen who actually go out to clean up the sea and, if you want, continue to support this valuable work with us.
Since October 2022, we have been supporting Ogyre’s work, both through a direct contribution and through the collaboration of our clients.
Until today, thanks to our contribution and that of customers who chosen to do their part to boost Ogyre’s activities, 8,000 kg of marine waste has been removed from the sea. Our path with Ogyre is, however, still long: we have, in fact, committed to financing a total collection of 38,000 kg of marine waste by July 2027.
OGYRE
Ogyre is a startup whose mission is to rid the seas of waste. It is the first Italian globally-active Fishing for Litter platform, which collects waste from the seas thanks to local Italian, Brazilian, and Indonesian fishermen. Litter collected during normal fishing operations is stored, brought ashore, and appropriately cataloged and disposed of. All this, thanks to the valuable commitment of the crew of fishermen who collaborate with Ogyre.
Thanks to their efforts, all the seas of our planet, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, passing through the Mediterranean Sea, will be cleaned up of everything that is not fish.
Duferco wanted to do more in support of our planet. That’s why we signed a partnership with Ogyre, to collect 38.000 kg of sea litter until today and starting a new collection for 2024.
NETWORK OF FISHERMEN
Currently, Ogyre network consists of 42 fishermen, number expected to grow by 2024.
