Fionn Ferreira
A MICROPLASTIC WASTE PIONEER
Fionn Ferreira is an innovator, inventor, and founder of the Green Journey Coalition. Fionn pioneered a crucial solution in the battle against plastic pollution, born from his desire to restore oceans, rivers, and lakes, and allow the harmonious coexistence of ecosystems and communities.
His Microplastic Environmental Cleaning Technology® (MPEC®) device will be reshaping wastewater treatment plants to combat plastic contamination in water bodies. MPEC® leverages a unique mixture to extract microplastic particles from water, achieving an impressive 87% removal rate for particles under 2mm. Fionn’s numerous honours include the 2023 European Young Inventors Prize, recognition at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition, and a spot on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list. Under Fionn’s leadership, Green Journey Coalition is uniting efforts to combat microplastic pollution. With support from Robert Downey Jr’s Footprint Coalition, Fionn and his team aim to transform MPEC® into a global force against plastic pollution.
