Fionn & Co.

Fionn Ferreira's innovative magnet-based method for extracting microplastics from water has positioned him as a leading young inventor in environmental science. From the coastlines of Ireland to global stages, Fionn Ferreira's mission has been unwavering: combat the microplastic crisis. Playing as an adult may seem silly, not productive or even a luxury. Born from meticulous research and hands-on experimentation, this magnet-based technique offers a highly effective, environmentally-friendly, and cost-efficient solution to one of the world's most pressing ecological challenges. Its efficacy has not only earned global recognition, such as the Google Science Fair 2019 Grand Prize, but also positions Fionn's invention as a pivotal tool in the journey towards cleaner oceans and freshwater sources. If you're organizing an event and need a speaker who can deliver impactful insights with charisma, Fionn Ferreira is your go-to choice.
