EKKOPOL
Who we are
Based in the South of France, Ekkopol is a company staffed entirely by professional sailors committed to combating marine pollution.
When we were founded in 2020, we offered a range of services to protect coastlines from human pollution: oil spill response training for port operators, water quality measurements and emergency response with our fleet of pollution clean-up boats.
This experience enabled us to discover the value of a French floating pump for collecting floating waste and hydrocarbons in ports: the DPOL®.
Convinced of its benefits, we are now manufacturing and marketing this simple, robust and effective tool.
Finally, our expertise in cleaning up hydrocarbons in ports and harbours has led us to select a complete range of tailored products that we offer to ports and harbours wishing to protect their waters.
Our versatile team can also adapt to ‘land’ issues: artificial lakes, reservoirs, canals, animal ponds, etc.
In 2024, Ekkopol and its products are operating in a dozen countries.
Our values
Ekkopol's mission is to contribute to the protection of the ocean and its amazing ecosystems.
The values that drive us to achieve this mission are :
- Rigour: with hundreds of thousands of nautical miles covered at sea, our team knows the ocean and how it works. We continue to progress by training at prestigious centres such as CEDRE® and by working with recognised scientists.
- Efficiency: The ocean is vast and pollution is rapidly diluted. To take effective action, we focus on the coastline and ports, where pollution is naturally concentrated. Our flagship product, DPOL®, individually collects up to several tonnes of waste per year in these areas.
- Quality: Most of our customers have to manage pollution that impacts their business, but which they are not the source of. That's why our services and products are tailored to this reality, reducing the financial and human costs of deployment as far as possible.
- Reactivity: Aware of the seriousness and urgency that certain situations can represent, we guarantee our customers a reactivity that matches their stakes. That's why we're able to dispatch our equipment rapidly anywhere in the world.
