Projects · What the ecosystem creates

Built.
Tested.
On the water.

Our products and development projects show that circularity works in the Blue Economy. Each one was created together with partners.

Work in progress

Current developments

Two projects we are bringing to market with partners. Join early and help shape them.

MVP with pilot partners

RE:FLOW · Digital product passport

Bluepass

The digital product passport for boats: transparency with data on materials and components, certificates, LCA and documentation of the entire life cycle on one platform.

Concept with white paper

RE:MARINA · Marinas

Net Positive Marina

How a superyacht marina can give more back to its surroundings than it takes. The white paper shows the options, and the Net Positive Check applies them to your own site, whether existing marina or new development.

Co-creation

Your project is next.

None of these projects was created alone. In the ecosystem, manufacturers, shipyards, producers, organisations, science, marina operators and users combine their strengths and open up the market together.

Blue Loop Advisory Board

Innovation and circularity for your company.

What we have learned from our own projects, we pass on in our advisory work: from material innovation and circular design to the business model that sustains the loop.
