BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Founded in 2014 by actor Samuel Le Bihan and former Action Contre la Faim CEO Fran\u00e7ois Danel, Earthwake aims to combat plastic pollution. Earthwake is an incubator for low-tech innovations, in other words, it produces technological solutions that are sustainable, useful, and that enable the resilience of populations and ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Earthwake is made up of two entities, Earthwake Entreprise, which develops and markets innovations, and Earthwake Association, which carries out solidarity projects to benefit vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OBJECTIVES<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Earthwake’s aim is to solve the problem of plastic pollution, which is currently characterised by over 10 million tonnes of waste dumped in the oceans. By recycling this plastic waste, Earthwake aims to encourage its collection before it ends up in the seas and oceans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aim of this approach is to give priority to so-called developing countries, which are the first to be affected by this scourge. The aim is to reduce both :<\/p>\n

\u2665The negative impact on the environment and climate
\n\u2665The negative impact on people’s health: on the one hand, plastic waste carries diseases due to the bacteria that develop in it, and on the other, micro-plastics ingested by fish are found in the global food chain.<\/p>\n

The aim is not to encourage fuel consumption, but to develop a transitional solution until clean energies take over the energy model of our societies.<\/p>\n

MEANS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In collaboration with inventor Christofer Costes, Earthwake has developed a solution for recycling plastic waste: the Chrysalis, a machine capable of transforming plastic waste into energy.<\/p>\n

The Chrysalis is a pyrolysis unit, a chemical process that returns plastic to its original state: oil. With the Chrysalis, plastic waste can be converted into fuel.<\/p>\n
