Raise awareness, mitigate, restore. These are the three keywords on which Aquageo bases its action to protect seas, rivers and coastlines from pollution.
Because caring for the sea doesn't just mean collecting waste — it means building a new way of thinking about the relationship between people and the environment. From this vision comes Blue pathway, Aquageo's integrated model that tackles the problem of marine pollution at its source, starting from education and prevention and extending all the way to ecosystem recovery interventions.

This year Aquageo is among the leading companies at Ecomondo 2025, the international reference point for the circular economy, scheduled from 4 to 7 November at the Rimini Expo Centre. An opportunity to show how technology, responsibility and awareness can come together to protect the sea.

Technology and awareness, together for the sea

"Taking part in an event like Ecomondo means coming into direct contact with those who can make a difference in the ecological transition: businesses, institutions, ports and local communities," explains Alessandro Barbiero, Managing Director of Aquageo. "Our approach starts with awareness-raising, because understanding marine pollution is the first step towards solving it. It then moves on to mitigation, through concrete actions to collect floating waste and microplastics using our Aqualis device, which operates without harming marine fauna. Finally comes the restoration phase, which involves interventions on damaged ecosystems or tools to offset environmental harm when direct intervention is not possible."

Aqualis is one of the symbols of the collaboration between Aquageo and the Water defenders alliance, the alliance promoted by LifeGate that brings together companies, research bodies and institutions committed to water protection. "Only by acting in a structured way, with a systemic and shared vision, can we truly reduce the impact of waste in the sea," adds Barbiero. "This is why we believe technology must always go hand in hand with awareness: every clean-up action is pointless if we don't first change the mindset with which we produce and manage our waste."

Aquageo is among the guests of the Ecomondo Vip lounge, an exclusive space for meeting and exchanging opinions and ideas, dedicated to companies that make sustainability and circularity their primary objective.
