In 2020, Moroccan innovator Aymane Berrerhdoche and his Spanish flatmate, Cecilio Rodriguez Grau, partnered with the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, to co-develop Proluo, a micro- and macro-plastic sea water filter non-profit project.
Explaining the concept to Morocco World News (MWN), Berrerhdoche said, “The filters we are developing have an innovative approach which is how to make them passive, by sticking them to boats that already move through the Mediterranean, that way we decrease their cost instead of making very expensive filters.”
Proluo or filtration in Latin made Berrehdoche the first Moroccan and foreigner in Spain to co-found a technology-related project in partnership with Polytechnic of Valencia.
Alongside the two co-founders, Berrehdoche and Grau, the project gathers today 31 members from all branches of engineering and science at the Spanish university. The team has developed six designs and two prototypes for plastic filters. Read More...
