a news report\u00a0<\/a>revealed a fisherman saving a turtle trapped in a tyre in Guanabara Bay.<\/p>\n\u201cThe removal of the tyres is of utmost importance for all of us, especially for our fishers in Guanabara Bay, as they are the most affected. We need more actions like this to preserve and restore the mangroves of the Bay.\u201d\u00a0Glaucia, the project\u2019s local community coordinator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cAt Ogyre, we know the ocean is vital for the future of our planet, and it\u2019s up to us to take care of it. Supporting BVRio for this tyre removal campaign in Guanabara Bay is a natural step toward achieving our mission: to empower fishermen to make a positive environmental impact. Removing waste like tyres from the ocean and recycling them into something more useful cleans our waters and cares for the local community, proving that sustainable solutions can truly drive change.\u201d\u00a0Antonio Augeri, Ogyre co-founder.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe project\u2019s primary focus is to rid the oceans, one piece of trash at time, together with fishers and brand partners interested in investing in social and environmental responsibility. With a model ready to generate ESG metrics and corporate social responsibility (CSR), the initiative offers a significant opportunity for producers to contribute to the sustainability of our seas by collecting specific products and materials that end their life in the ocean, such as tyres, flip-flops, electrical appliances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeking new partnerships with companies that wish to engage in cleaning the ocean. This is a call to all who want to be part of a solution with proven social and environmental impacts on the ocean pollution problem,\u201d added Pedro Succar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
