The startup has developed a clear drop technology that utilizes a patent-pending automatic process to compact and seal soft plastic waste using its own melting properties. This technology addresses the challenge of plastic pollution by enabling users to efficiently process all types of soft plastic bags, wrappers, and packaging into a manageable form.

Problem
Optical devices such as cameras, sensors, and displays often suffer from reduced performance due to water, mud, snow, frost, sand, and dust accumulation on their surfaces. Existing cleaning methods can be cumbersome, require maintenance, or even damage the coated surfaces of sensitive optics.
Solution
ClearDrop Technology offers a surface cleaning solution that utilizes acoustic waves to remove contaminants from optical surfaces. The technology employs a miniature, lightweight electronic device installed behind the protective glass that propagates invisible surface vibrations. This method effectively removes water, mud, snow, frost, dry sand, and dust without damaging the panel or requiring mechanical parts.
Target Audience
The primary customers include manufacturers and users of optical devices in defense, security, aerospace, agriculture, and other industries where clear vision is critical.
