Reconciling ecology and economy
for the common good

What if we didn’t produce any more waste?
What if our production systems regenerated our ecosystems?
What if we replaced unemployment with an abundance of meaningful jobs and innovations?
What if our economy generated more income and happiness for all, thanks to the blue economy?

The Blue Economy is the place where the best for health and the environment is the cheapest, and where the necessities of life are free thanks to a local system of production and consumption that works with what you have. Blue Economy is Zeri ‘s (Zero emissions research and initiatives) philosophy in action.

The Blue Economy is a vast universe involving many players and materialized in many different ways. The aim of this website is to help you discover the Blue Economy, to better understand it and to familiarize yourself with this universe. Understand the role of each player, so you can see where you fit in!

Drawing inspiration from the natural world around us to harvest just what we need, working in symbiosis with the living, living on the planet in harmony with the ecosystems that make it up… That’s what the blue economy (offers you).
A new way of approaching daily life that promotes regeneration, autonomy and abundance, improves the relationship between each individual and his or her environment, and encourages harmonious cohabitation between human beings.
