the circular economy at eco barge
At Eco Barge, we’re converting our substantial stockpile of recyclable materials into practical and awareness-raising products and artworks. By turning waste into high-impact goods, we’re reducing the environmental footprint of end-of-life waste. Through strategic partnerships, we collaborate with others to minimise waste impact and develop new products from locally sourced marine debris.
eco barge CIRCULARITY GOALS
Eliminate Waste and Pollution
Collect and process marine debris to prevent harm to our marine ecosystems and turn it into valuable resources.
Circulate Products & Materials
Create long-lasting, repairable, and reusable products from marine debris, ensuring that materials are used to their fullest potential
Regenerate Natural Systems
Drive long-term environmental and social progress by creating products that help fund our mission and actively contributing to keeping our seas clean.
HOW TO RECYCLE MARINE DEBRIS
SUPPORTING OUR MISSION
The proceeds from these efforts help us support and sustain the mission of our not-for-profit organisation. You can purchase our products directly through our shop or find us at a local market.
Previous Collaborations
Our project has already seen fruitful partnerships with Coca-Cola South Pacific, Plastic Collective, WAW Handplanes, and various artists, all working together to repurpose the marine debris collected by Eco Barge.
Join us as we continue to innovate and transform waste into opportunities for a sustainable future. Through these initiatives, Eco Barge is dedicated to contributing to the regeneration of natural systems and promoting sustainable practices in the Greater Whitsunday Region.
Queensland Circular Economy Program
Eco Barge was selected as one of six successful applicants for a grant under the Queensland Circular Economy (Industry-Research) program, supported by the Resources Centre of Excellence and the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation. This initiative aims to drive industry-led research and innovation, helping us transition from the traditional take-make-waste model to a sustainable circular economy.
