    How to participate in project PARALIES

    The project PARALIES initiative involves companies that share the same environmental concerns with us and wish to substantially contribute towards the direction of natural environment’s protection and remediation, through their active participation in actions that result to a positive environmental footprint.

    We dream of a marine and coastal ecosystem free of waste and for this purpose we join our forces.

    Through the project PARALIES initiative, our effort acquires the most important allies.

    Your company can also participate in the project PARALIES by adopting a beach. We will be happy to hear you.

    100,000 turtles

    and marine mammals, such as dolphins, whales and seals, are killed by plastic marine litter every year around the world

    18,000 pieces

    of plastic litter float in every square Kilometer of sea!

    1 plastic bottle

    left at the beach remains more than 450 years in the marine environment

    6,000,000 tons

    of waste enter the marine environment every year, weighing about the same as 1,000,000 elephants!
