COVID-19 has had an impact on the way we operate, especially in India where we have temporarily suspended our waste collection and recycling services in the fishing communities in which we work, as well as closed down our Marine Conservation Centre to the public.

Despite this, our Waste and Community Outreach Coordinator, Krishna, has been practising good social distancing and continuing to work to build our shredding and extrusion machines for our Composting and Aquaponic (CAP) systems.

He’s made some great progress putting our motors and blades together, refining CAP designs and getting plastic waste from the community ready to shred and extrude to make into plastic beams.

A huge thanks to the Ubuntu Foundation, Australian Ethical Super and Colombus Zoo and Aquarium for supporting our vital work in India.

We’re looking forward to getting back out into the community as soon as it’s safe to do so!
