"Examine Nature, that is where your future lies"
Leonard De Vinci
In October, Pure Ocean had the opportunity to be a partner of the Biomim'expo show that took place in Paris at the Cité des Sciences and Industry of La Villette. "Biomim'expo is the annual gathering of stakeholders in biomimicry and methods inspired by Nature, to innovate and create the conditions for a renewed and sustainable development model."
We still have a lot to learn from nature!
Biomimicry is a process where one observes what nature does and draws inspiration from it to try to respond to issues in our society.
Forged by the American academic Otto Schmitt, the term "biomimetics" can be summed up in a few words as the transfer of biological models and mechanisms to technology.
The idea is to consider the 3.8 billion years of evolution as the largest open lab in the world. This lab is an endless source of engineering and inspiration in energy management and production, materials manufacturing, green chemistry, recycling, circular economy, and community-based organization. A great opportunity for the ecological transition.

A study of the capacity of marine sponges to treat organic compounds present in plastics
Plastic waste is one of the greatest threats our oceans are facing with a projected tenfold increase in the marine environment by 2025.
Micro-plastics are an “invisible” fraction of this pollution, yet they are becoming more and more abundant, entering the food chain with dramatic consequences on sea life and unknown effects on human health.
The SPO-PLASTIC project developed in Spain and supported by Pure Ocean, studies the capacity of the sponges to remove microplastics from the water column. Read More.
