In this article you will find three interesting blue economy startups that are developing new ways of using marine resources in a sustainable way.
In our current economic system we are exploiting natural resources without fully considering the impact on the environment.
Thanks to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals companies are trying to develop more sustainable businesses, including the ones that operate in the marine industry.
In particular, the Goal n. 14 is the one linked to the blue economy, as it aims at using in a sustainable way the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Startups are a great source of innovation and disruption, and that is why the most interesting ideas to use the ocean resources in a sustainable way are coming from them.
