Fashion Design and Tech Innovation to conserve the marine environment

The fourth edition of Navozyme's Blue Seas Webinar Series featured Jessica Giannotti, Founder of sustainable fashion think tank, Crùbag, and award-winning industrial designer Ian Myles, for a discussion on marine conservation with Navozyme's Co-Founder & Chief Executive Anjaney Borwankar.

During the webinar, Jessica discussed the importance of storytelling for raising awareness about marine conservation. Jessica merges beauty with knowledge in Crùbag's products to communicate important topics related to the marine environment. For example, during the webinar, Jessica displayed a beautiful coloured scarf that showed a zoomed image of some microplastic alongside a plankton. Through this image, she was able to tell the story of how microplastics in the oceans diminish the plankton's ability to sequester carbon.

Jessica Giannotti is a marine science graduate and fashion entrepreneur. She founded Crùbag in 2013 after completing her studies in marine science at SAMS-UHI in Scotland. Her company, Crùbag, is an ocean-focused interdisciplinary textile design studio and materials innovation lab. Crùbag creates artful textile collections and new sustainable materials from the ocean to reveal our planet's unseen beauty, share ocean knowledge, and inspire a deeper connection with nature.

Ian James Myles is an award-winning industrial designer (4 IDSA awards and several patents) and an Advisory Board member of Navozyme since its founding days. With a proven track record in commercially viable innovation across industries, he has international experience with start-ups and Fortune 500 Companies.

Port Authorities from 6 Spanish Bunker Ports to participate in the N-Bunker workshop

On the 29th of November, Navozyme will host a workshop with leaders from the Port Authorities of Algeciras, Ceuta, Huelva, Las Palmas, Tenerife, and Valencia. The workshop has been designed to share the latest N-Bunker updates and to exchange views related to bunkering.

N-Bunker applies deep tech (AI and Blockchain) to reduce the administrative burden during bunkering. N-Bunker reduces the waiting time for bunkering at anchorage, which in turn, eliminates wasted fuel burn and facilitates decarbonisation.
