MORE SHIPS
LESS PLASTIC
With no energy use and low-cost materials, our system can be easily installed to ships for collecting plastic from ocean during their motion, without affecting their activity. The system is a freely-movable u-tube floater that orients itself according to current direction for effective trapping of plastic in a connected net. This website will connect shipping and plastic recycling companies, setting pick-up locations and times.
The plastic you use once tortures the oceans forever!
Life Of Birds
Plastic threatens the life of birds and other beings that depend on the marine organisms as a food source; they get tricked by the bright colors of plastic junk and ingest it as food.
Human well-being
Plastic affects the marine food that people consume. Studies have found that toxins in plastics cause several of health issues including cancers, immune system problems, and birth defects.
Marine Mammals
They get killed after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Large amounts of plastic debris have been found in the habitat of critically endangered Hawaiian monk seals, threatening their extinction.

Marine mammals're killed annually due to plastic ingestion
Ocean could contain 1 kg of plastic for every 3 kg of fish
PRIOR SOLUTION
The clean-up technology installed in the great Pacific Ocean is a stationary U-tube floater that traps plastic depending on the wind, waves, and current. It depends on the idea that ocean currents concentrate plastic in 5 areas in the world “Ocean Garbage Patches” and implements the system in the greatest patch.
Millions of kilomerers
the coverage range of the system limits the amount of trapped plastic. It can't catch plastic that spreads to millions of kilometers around or plastic that sinks deeply.
By being connected to ships, our system exploits the ships routes which are near to coastal areas, the main source of plastic, so it catches it before having time to sink or spread around
Highly expensive
The technology of installing and fixing such a large system - 600 m long- in The Great pacific Ocean costed up to 40 Million dollars.
By making use of the ships motion, our solution requires no extra fees for transporting the plastic to land. Moreover, its simple mechanical design makes it very low at cost
Harming Animals
Due to collecting and aggregating plastics by a stationary system, animals get attracted to it, risking entanglement.
The fact that our system is dynamic makes it an improbable shelter for marine creatures, preventing any disruption to their lives.
Algae
growth
Bacteria and algae can grow on the system, increasing its weight and affecting its behaviour
Our dynamic system makes it very hard for marine life to be established on.

Why use our service?
As a shipping company,
you will keep making profit from the system after installing it through getting paid by recycling companies that receive plastic at the pick-up locations.
