Blue Ocean - first flags show up
The systematic waste prevention, INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING was back in 2013 a Blue ocean project. Nobody considered before those industries can reduce the waste volumes by preventing waste and wasting happen.
But it works this way
Blue ocean projects do not mean just sail the sea, but sometimes you have to pour the water into the ocean as well. Many feel lack of water disappointing or even limiting, turning back looking for a new easier way to start something new.
For me, the End means the Beginning and non-existence means Start of my journey. With INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING was the same.
It took me two years when one Blue Ocean turns into next one — INDUSTRY 5.0. There was a difference. The second one does not need water to be poured, for it was already there. The basic layer was set by INDUSTRIAL UPCYCLING, implementation results within the existing industrial and business environment.
On my way to the wasteless world, many try to copy but struggle expecting easy money which is not there. SYS does not work. SYR does. Others expect short action to be rewarded by sweet price, but it turned to be a long journey which very few are willing to take. All the black pirate flags left, keeping the blue ocean transparent.
The great feeling was the first white flag on the horizon, followed by next and next and many. There was no need to display skin color, age, fortune, or origin. The only important part was the will TO REALIZE the change. Build up the ship and sail the Blue ocean.
I am happy to be there, at the beginning. I am even happier to see, my example and openness have been example to be followed and I feel every single day, that the marks on my hands are nothing comparing to the feeling looking around the BLUE OCEAN and see THERE ARE MANY WHO PREFER TO LIVE ON A BLUE MARBLE INSTEAD OF GREY BALL OF MUD.
It is not me, but YOU who make the EARTH GREAT PLACE TO LIVE and WORK ONCE AGAIN.
I am sure nobody prefers to live in a landfill.
Many thanks to Etienne Andre and Chryzanthi Polyzoni to sail with me.
