Nexo
Nexo seeks to turn enviromental issues into solutions that benefit local communities by turning what is tought as a problem into valuable products by using biotechnology and innovation. We are currently focused on the Sargazo crisis hitting the mexican caribbean, our plan is to bio-process sargazo that is constantly negatively affecting communities, and turning it into valuable industrial chemical products: fucoidans, alginates and fertilizers (as a residue of our process). We seek to fund a biorefinary to process sargazo in a way that has never done before.
- Problema que resuelve su propuesta
- Population on the coast of the Mexican Caribbean / Quintana Roo Peninsula / Health issues, low economic activity, unemployment / Sargazo piling up on the beaches / Millions of people are affected each year due to the environmental, economical, and health issues that sargazo accumulation causes on the beaches of Quintana Roo
- ¿Qué impacto positivo tiene o tendría su propuesta en su comunidad? Cuáles son las mejoras concretas ambientales o sociales
- Removing sargazo from the beaches is key in order to avoid the harmful contaminating substances seeping in to the soil and hurting the maritime life. Also, as we stated before, sargazo accumulation has slowed economical development and left many with health issues caused by aspiring the fumes liberated by sargazo.
