Research has recently been carried out to replace the traditional plaster used in orthopaedic splints in hospitals with PET bottles collected on the Costa do Sol beach. This research seeks an efficient alternative for stabilising fractured/dislocated limbs. The bottles are processed and transformed into a light, resistant and mouldable material. This material not only provides the rigidity needed for limb immobilisation, but is also breathable and comfortable, improving the patient experience during the recovery period. This demonstrates how innovation and sustainability can merge to offer effective solutions for local problems in different areas. #BioMec #petbottles #plasticwaste #biomecprosthetics #biomecwheelchairs #plasticwastesolutions

Over the last week, we had a meeting with the Spanish ambassador to Mozambique, Alberto Cerezo. We joined an incredible initiative that allows young entrepreneurs from six African countries, including [Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Senegal and South Africa], to explore the headquarters of major Spanish companies and participate in meaningful discussions with executives and government officials focused on economic and commercial issues. Strengthen ties and establish valuable connections in various sectors. The program included visits to industrial and financial companies, as well as interactions with relevant ministries, identifying key contacts aligned with our industry for personalized meetings.
