SEABIN PROJECT FOR CLEANER OCEANS |

The Seabin is a floating rubbish bin that is located in the water at marinas, docks, yacht clubs and commercial ports. The seabin moves up and down with the range of tide collecting all floating rubbish. Water is sucked in from the surface and passes through the catch bag inside the Seabin. The water is then pumped back into the marina leaving litter and debris trapped in the catch bag to be disposed of properly. The Seabin also has the potential to collect a percentage of oils and pollutants floating on the water surface. Seabins are powered by 12-volt submersible water pumps and have the options to use alternative power as a source. This may be using solar, wave or wind power technology depending on geographical location and current technologies available. Europe's now trialling these floating rubbish cans that collect garbage from the sea. You can see it practically working in this video: https://www.facebook.com/techinsider/videos/646034878937235/ Seabin project's website Today is another important milestone for the Seabin Project with the first V5 Seabin officially installed in Northern Europe in Helsinki! The Seabin however, is only one small part of a larger solution in the battle against global oceanic littering with the real solution being education.

Very innovative invention Arushi. Thanks for sharing, though as you rightly said we need to work towards reducing the need for such products!

Hi Arushi, thanks for introducing awesome product:)
That sounds really helpful, especially considering the fact that the product itself is made of recycled plastics. Hope it could be used more widely in short time!

Arushi, thank you for your report. Very interesting technique! Of course, as you said, this seabin alone cannot be the ultimate solution against water pollution, but this sure will be a great help!

that's a great project. Thank you for sharing. I'm so interested can you tell how it is efficient? and which materials are used to manufacture the Seabin?

Interesting project. I've heard of similar initiatives aimed at reducing the amount of plastic in ocean such as The Ocean Cleanup, but never knew about this. Thanks for sharing.
