Problem
Approximately 80% of ocean plastic originates from rivers, posing a significant threat to marine ecosystems, oxygen production, and industries reliant on healthy oceans. Current methods of plastic removal are often inefficient, environmentally damaging, or fail to address the root cause of the problem.
Solution
SEADS has developed Blue Barriers, a patented technology designed to capture 100% of macro-plastic waste in rivers without disrupting aquatic life or river navigation. These barriers are engineered to withstand various river conditions, including seasonal flooding, while also capturing microplastics using organic materials. By preventing plastic from reaching the oceans, SEADS supports the creation of a circular economy by transforming collected waste into valuable resources for local communities, reducing CO2 emissions, and protecting marine wildlife. The technology offers a sustainable and holistic approach to waste management, enabling national and local governments to cover waste management costs by extracting value from the collected waste.
Target Audience
The primary customers are national and local governments, municipalities, and environmental organizations seeking effective and sustainable solutions for riverine plastic waste management.
