Resiliants: WATER aims to create a predictive dashboard for avocado...
We aim to revolutionize shipping containers by creating "ConBubble," a buoyant, eco-friendly alternative made from recycled plastic injected with microbubbles. These containers are recoverable if they fall into oceans, protecting marine life. ConBubble retains the strength of traditional containers while reducing the environmental impact of steel production. This innovation supports the circular economy and UN SDG#14, "Life Below Water," by protecting ocean beds, reducing fossil fuel use, and promoting the recycling of existing containers.
- Protects marine ecosystems
- Reduces plastic pollution
- Stops fossil fuel use

Our innovation, ConBubble, addresses the issue of shipping containers sinking to the ocean floor, causing environmental damage. Each year, between 1,300-1,500 containers are lost at sea, posing significant risks to marine life, especially in regions like the Black Sea. ConBubble containers, made from recycled plastic injected with microbubbles, are designed to remain buoyant even when they fall into the water. This buoyancy prevents them from sinking, allowing for easy recovery by cargo or rescue ships using standard equipment. By preventing containers from sinking, ConBubble helps protect marine ecosystems, reduce water pollution, and support a sustainable blue economy. Our innovation aligns with UN SDG 14.1, aiming to reduce marine pollution, and we seek to collaborate with organizations like The Ocean Cleanup to further enhance our environmental impact.
Ou innovation was developed independently within a startup and currently conceptualised in conversation with Dansk Plastindustrien (www.plast.dk) for manufacturing and R&D before product development.
A whole container is yet to be manufactured and tested. Concerns remain around the following:
1. Ability to recover while at rough seas, even though it can float. Our unique sell is for it to float and be recoverable.
2. A big limitation will be in its floating ability if the panels break, and the bubbles are exposed/ burst.
2. Availability of the quantity of upcycled plastic needed to manufacture container panels.
3. Reparation of containers in the normal wear and tear. Containers when badly handled break the walls. Today metal can be welded, but plastic can’t.
4. Worldwide availability of recycled plastic containers for repair can be a huge limitation. We do not intend to use plastic manufactured with the use of fossil fuel, defeats the purpose.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
