Founder and CEO, Ocean Purpose Project
Ocean Purpose Project (OPP) is dedicated to driving ocean conservation and plastic pollution prevention using a mix of deep technology and nature-based solutions. CEO Mathilda D’Silva founded the social enterprise after her own experience of becoming sick because of marine pollution. OPP has worked with a floating fish farm to filter out toxins in Singapore waters, and is aiming to create the world’s first unit that converts plastic waste into hydrogen.
I wanted to find a sense of purpose in all of this pollution and do it in my own way
