Another 2022’s MANTECO SUSTAINABILITY AWARD, this time in collaboration with IED Milano. As the winner, Mona-Fee Kienle, has it in her project: “Through my design, I aim to spread awareness about the fragility of the oceanic ecosystem, the possibilities of saving it as well as to highlight the intrinsic connection between humans and the sea. There is a certain paradox about how we think about ocean pollution. We are led to believe that we can protect the oceans by simply reducing our everyday use of plastic. Even though this should be an important concern in our daily lives, the truth behind most of the ocean pollution lies elsewhere. Large transnational fishing companies are the true culprit behind ocean pollution, where overfishing, ghost nets, discarded fishing equipment, bycatch and many other aspects of their operations cause massive strain on the oceanic systems and marine life.”
