Recycllux

Recycllux solves the marine plastic waste crisis by enabling corporations, coastal authorities, and ports to act through our Marine Plastic Cleanup-as-a-Service (AI satellite-powered plastic pollution detection, decentralized cleanup operations, traceable plastic offset & ESG reporting).

Recycllux tackles the escalating crisis of marine plastic pollution, which endangers ecosystems, disrupts coastal economies, and accelerates climate change. Each year, 12 million tons of plastic enter the seas and oceans—set to triple by 2040. Despite EU mandates for urgent action, existing solutions fail due to lack of real-time monitoring, scalable cleanup methods, and transparent impact verification.

Recycllux solves the marine plastic waste crisis by enabling corporations, coastal authorities, and ports to act through our Marine Plastic Cleanup-as-a-Service platform that integrates:

1. AI satelite-powered marine plastic detection to provide real-time data on plastic pollution spots in the sea;
2. Decentralized cleanup operations leveraging local value chains (fishing vessels, NGOs, recyclers) with blockchain-based traceability.
3. Certified ESG reports and Plastic Offset Credits for compliance and sustainability.

Our AI-driven satellite analysis identifies marine plastic hotspots in the seas, enabling efficient, targeted decentralized cleanup interventions to effectively remove plastic waste and ensure it is reintegrated into the circular economy. The blockchain-based intervention management portal ensures full traceability from detection to collection, recycling, and impact reporting, allowing companies, coastal authorities, and ports to demonstrate compliance and sustainability efforts transparently.

By embedding collection within coastal communities and engaging local fishing fleets and local NGOs, we minimize carbon emissions, create local jobs, and improve cost efficiency. Partnering with local recyclers and repurposing facilities, we ensure that plastic waste is reintegrated into the circular economy, reducing reliance on virgin plastics and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycllux advances climate resilience by preventing plastic pollution from harming marine ecosystems, enhancing seas health and mitigating pollution-related CO₂ emissions.

Bringo Fresh

We leverage technology to connect farmers and retailers to reduce cost and ensure transparency and traceability.

The traditional fresh produce supply chain in Africa needs organization and transparency. Currently, it is highly fragmented, making it difficult for farmers to get fair prices. Farmers often find themselves at the mercy of middlemen who offer low farm gate prices for their produce. This not only affects their livelihoods but also discourages them from investing in their farms and improving the quality of their produce. Conversely, retailers face the challenge of high fluctuating prices for low-quality fresh produce. This not only affects their profit margins but also hampers their ability to provide customers with consistent and high-quality produce.

Bringo Fresh leverages technology to shorten the fresh produce supply chain. Our platform connects farmers and retailers, eliminating the need for multiple intermediaries. This not only reduces costs but also ensures transparency and traceability throughout the process.

About Access Academia

Access Academia is the charitable umbrella which was created out of the creation of the student-led publication, the Journal of Intersectional Social Justice. When Journal of Intersectional Social Justice (JISJ) was created, there were not any expectations for the project to be any more than that: a student-led academic publication. However, as it rolled on, attention for the project widened and it began to cover other topics and get involved in other realms of knowledge sharing, activism, and content creation. The creation of the seminal Access Series on the Intersections blog springboarded the idea for the JISJ to turn into something much more than a simple academic publication. Now as we have restructured the JISJ into Access Academia, we are finalising our official registration as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in the UK. 

Our core purpose is to Make Academia More Accessible. We plan to accomplish this by many different avenues, as obviously it is a very wide-ranging goal! The main ways we plan to do this are through encouraging Open Access academia and knowledge sharing through the Access Series, expanding the themes covered on Intersections with additions such as Mental Health Mondays and Colonialism in Subject, creating accessible content across our social media platforms which encourages truthful and accurate knowledge sharing and activism, running research events to encourage students to publish and interact with academia, covering inside stories of academia, running student engagement programmes to try and make academia less of an Ivory Tower, and much more!
