Floating boom attached to both sides of a canyon with a metal screen attached to collect plastic waste.

River booms that act as a barrier to prevent plastics from entering the ocean.

Active concentration modules placed along the river to guide plastic waste to a collection point where it is lifted from the waterway by a collection wheel.

Hoovers microplastics out of sand.

Consists of an unmanned surface vehicle, two underwater robots, and an aerial vehicle or drone. The drone and ROV charts the litter on the surface and in the water column. The second ROV uses a custom-designed gripper and a suction device to collect the mapped garbage on the seabed.

Stainless steel mesh that prevents microplastics from entering drinking water and the water cycle.

Barrier to direct waste onto conveyor belts which run along the riverbank and deposit waste into receptacles.

A self-cleaning, ducted turbomachinery unit that can be installed as a power-generating turbine or modified to be installed in a ship to extract plastic pollution from marine environments.

Filter feeders to collect plastic, designed to be retrofitted or built into larg shipping vessels.

Two outstretched booms with nets attached, which catch debris floating just below the water’s surface.

Mesh bag that unrolls to provide a way for divers to collect and remove trash from the water while on dives.

Fully automated robot that uses a conveyor belt to pick up and transfer collected rubbish to storage compartment.

Using AI and ‘research pods’, the solar-powered MAS will run experiments to monitor sea mammals and marine microplastics.

Sensors allow port authorities to certify the amount of ship waste reported, in comparison to the volume reported to MARPOL inspectors.

Balls placed in the laundry machine capture microfibers shed when washing synthetic fibers.

Water filter on laundry machines captures microfibers when water is drained through the machine.

Solar-powered vessel with conveyor belts collects floating debris.

Vessels place GPS units on ghost nets to mark them for collection.

Floating litter trap uses a bypass flap to leverage water flow and pressure to capture and trap floating litter.

Combination of oil and magnetite powder binds microplastics for extraction with a magnet.
