Aquatic Waste Management and Treatment

We turn marine waste into new resources.

The management of sludge, sediment, and invasive algae is one of the greatest environmental challenges of the present. At Nautilus Dragados, we apply clean technologies that transform aquatic waste into reusable materials within the Blue Circular Economy.
