Plastic foam products made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS)
are amongst the top 10 items of marine litter found on European beach litter surveys.
We are OceanWise, a project looking for solutions to reduce this type of marine litter.
We want to keep EPS and XPS away from the marine environment.
The second Ocean Plastic hackathon aims to be very practical and experimental, due to the need to promote a workshop to get to know the XPS / EPS in depth, which has many specificities in relation to other types of polymers. This will make it possible to acquire more in-depth knowledge and promote the presentation of more realistic proposals, appropriate to the challenge presented in the next editions of the hackathon.
Participants are students from the University of Aveiro from various scientific areas, such as Mechanical Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Product Design. Over the 3 days, they will be accompanied by several specialists: prof. Victor Neto and Prof. Paula Gomes from the University of Aveiro, Cândido Cruz from the RECUA project, Isabel Bourbon from the Oiá project and Designer Emanuel Faúlha.

OCEANWISE
- OceanWise deals with marine litter in a circular economy perspective. It is focused exclusively on foamed polystyrene plastic (i.e. EPS and XPS ) products and applications with a likelihood to become marine litter. OceanWise wants to approach this issue with a wide-view angle, by putting together a multi-sectoral platform to include Governmental bodies responsible for marine environment management, Industry and other stakeholders, waste management authorities, designers, circular economy modellers, I&D specialists in participatory processes, and end-users. EPS is short for expanded polystyrene, commonly known as plastic foam or styrofoam. XPS is another type of expanded polystyrene material.
