The numbers surrounding this problem are staggering. It’s estimated that 4 to 12 million tons of plastic waste enters the earth’s oceans from land yearly. So what’s being done about it?
The Seabin project
The Seabin is a floating rubbish bin or “floating debris interception device” that is located in the water at marinas, docks, yacht clubs and commercial ports.
This new device literally sucks rubbish from the water’s surface – In-Water Automated Marina Rubbish Collector

The bucket connects to a water pump sucking all trash, oil, and other waste into a removable mesh bag. The pump then spits clean seawater back into the ocean and is capable of displacing 25.000 LPH (litres per hour), plugged directly into 110/220 V outlet.
The Seabin also has the potential to collect a percentage of oils and pollutants floating on the water surface.
We need a few million of these around the coastal areas of the uk! And not forgetting the rivers of course!
Who is the Seabin project targeted at?
Marinas, ports, harbors, yacht clubs, inland waterways, rivers, lakes, private pontoons and even motor yachts and super yachts. Even boat or business owners that want to have a Seabin in their local yacht club or marina.

Greetings! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site
mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to
fix this problem. If you have any suggestions,
please share. Appreciate it!
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was totally right.
This post actually made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this info!
