NEWLY INVENTED TECHNOLOGY TO CONTROL THE PLASTIC POLLUTION
The Seabin is a relatively simple, low-maintenance, and effective way of removing ocean debris and plastics from the water. It is small, unobstructive, and unlike existing ocean cleaning methods, it does not cost much and runs around the clock.

Here is how it works: the Seabin is located in the water, fixed to a floating dock or structure. Using a basic water pump, ocean water is sucked down into the bin, bringing any floating trash or debris with it. The debris is then caught in a large fiber cloth bag, while the pump continues to draw the water out through the bottom of the bin and returns it to the ocean.

Once the bag is full, the trash can be easily removed and discarded responsibly on land. The Seabin even has the option to attach an oil/water separator onto the pump system.
