SEABIN PROJECT

 SEABIN PROJECT



Plastic is mistakenly thought of as a beneficial consumer good. But the enormous volume of plastic waste has negative effects. Comparing the "Seabin Project" against other systems and concepts for the purpose of cleaning the seas and the ports, it became clear that it was the most affordable and commercially viable solution to the plastic trash problem. The Seabin is a breakthrough in ocean cleaning technology that promotes healthier marine life and a cleaner environment while also improving quality of life. 

Ports, yacht clubs, and marinas are the first places where the Seabin is utilised to tackle plastic trash. Micro and macro plastics as well as micro fibres can be intercepted thanks to the suction of water and the material it contains. Additionally, this method is intended to purify water that has been tainted by organic substances like algae, leaves, etc. The "Seabin Project" aims to support efforts to protect the oceans and combat plastic waste.


HOW THE SEABIN OPERATES.


The Seabin is a floating trash container that can be constantly emptied and cleaned because it is situated in the water at boat marinas, docks, harbours, and other coastal regions. Water is drawn in from the surface and goes through a catch bag filter inside the Seabin to capture all floating trash. The trash and other waste are then trapped in the catch bag for proper disposal while the water is pushed back into the ocean. As a result, The Seabin needs regular cleaning, which is carried out by numerous ecologically aware organisations in various regions. Additionally, the Seabin has the capacity to gather some of the liquid contaminants and oils that float on the water's surface. Currently, the Seabins use 12 volt submersible water pumps, which offer the choice of using alternate and cleaner energy sources. Depending on the area and existing technologies, this can involve using solar, wind, or wave power technology.
