ECOcube

 

Project Promoter: MARSERVIS, Croatia

Partner: CSS – CLEAN SEA SOLUTIONS AS, Norway

Project description: The main objective is the development and application of the innovative blue product "ECOcube" – an ecological island for the reception of solid waste and wastewater from the vessel and introduction of "ECOcube" as a new product to the enterprise and to the market.

Aim: Reception of solid waste and wastewater from the vessels.

The expected outcomes:

• Increase in turnover: 114%
• Increase in net operating profit: 620%
• Estimated number of jobs created: 2
• Number of new IPRs: 2
• Estimated annual decrease of CO2 emissions: – 10.43 t
• Estimated annual decrease of energy: – 2.16 mW
• Estimated annual re-use or recycling of material: 3.60 t

The expected outputs:

• Development of "ECOcube" prototype – developed – completed, tested and validated (in operational environment)
• Development of "ECOcube" preproduction prototype – innovative bio-materials applied in the production process of "Eco Cube" – innovative technology in production process of "Eco Cube"
• Application of low-carbon materials in production
• Application of renewable power sources in product
• Collection of waste within commercial operations of product
• Application of solar cells
• Application of a bio-material
• Re-use/recycle of collected plastic, glass, paper and metal
• Development of "ECOcube" will mitigate water pollution through annual re-use of recycling of collected plastic, glass, paper and metal (expected 3.6 tonnes)
