Why we love it?

This technological innovation is one of those that makes you wonder, "But does it exist?" Transforming plastic waste into fuel in a self-powered process that requires no additional energy is Earthwake's crazy Chrysalis solution. Dream no more, they've done it!

The project

DecontaminationClimate
Installing a Chrysalis in Tunisia in response to plastic dumping at sea
11
millions
tonnes of plastic waste dumped into the oceans every year.
1
first solution
developed by Earthwake: Chrysalis, which converts plastic waste that is difficult to recycle into energy.
50
metric tons
of plastic waste will be recycled per year in the Everest region thanks to the solution provided by Earthwake

Solution

In partnership with the SMILO association, the overall aim of the project is to set up a pilot project on Kerkennah to promote sustainable plastic waste management based on an innovative technical solution: pyrolysis. The installation of the Chrysalis on the island will make it possible to recover plastic waste that is difficult to recycle because it is soiled, while creating fuel, vital for fishermen, from waste currently not taken into account by existing recycling channels. The installation of the Chrysalis will make it possible to reduce the quantities of plastic abandoned at sea. 


The money will be used for

In order to adopt a more global approach to reducing plastic waste, preventive awareness-raising actions will be carried out. Funding via the Captain Cause platform will enable the organization of awareness-raising actions aimed at fishermen.
"Earthwake's mission is to fight plastic pollution, one of the greatest environmental and social scourges of the 21st century, while creating jobs and solidarity in developing countries."
