Under the auspices of the Handelens Miljøfond, Rydd Norge has awarded LoVeMar AS a large beach clean-up project in Vesterålen that will run over 3 years.
There are 7 areas in Andøy, Bø and Øksnes municipality that will be cleaned for marine debris in the period 2021-2023.
The project has a value of several million kroner, and will provide 5 jobs in LoVeMar during the clean-up period. In addition, the assignment will provide 10 local jobs for beach cleaners in the individual municipality during the period to be cleaned.
Professional beach cleaning is an important focus area for LoVeMar, in addition to the development and sale of equipment.
LoVeMar AS was established in 2018, and has had since then a positive development with great support from Innovation Norway and Egga Utvikling.
