River barriers capturing floating and submerged plastic, transforming it into resources and reducing pollution flow to oceans without impacting river ecosystems.
Rivers: Major Contributors to Ocean Plastic Pollution
80%
of ocean plastic originates from rivers
Even though oceans play a vital role in the health of the environment, absorbing 25% of the world's annual CO2 emissions, 10 million tons of plastic and microplastics end up in them every year 80% of it comes from rivers.
The need for us to recognize the pivotal connection between healthy oceans and effective climate change mitigation is becoming pressing.
Transforming Plastic Waste with River Barriers
SEADS' modular barriers, designed to preserve river ecosystems and boat navigation, are strategically installed in rivers to collect plastic and microplastics that are then transformed into valuable resources like energy and recycled plastic.
This integrated approach helps protect the environment and provides a complete solution for public administrations, assisting in managing the costs of the barriers.
Revolutionizing Microplastic Collection with Barriers
100%
effective in collecting mixed plastics up to 90 cm deep below the surface
This solution effectively collects mixed plastic - including microplastics - from the water's surface and up to 90 cm deep underwater, where a significant amount of plastic accumulates.
It ensures minimal impact on river life and boat navigation while efficiently conveying the collected material for removal.
SEADS prevents plastic pollution in rivers and oceans for:
- Municipalities
- Plastic recycling companies
- NGOs
- Manufacturing companies
- Water management companies
The benefits of SEADS plastic barrier solution
SEADS' barriers demonstrate their exceptional efficacy in collecting mixed plastic and contributing to local communities, generating job opportunities while ensuring minimal river life disruption and boat navigation.
Their holistic approach addresses plastic pollution at its source while promoting sustainability and environmental well-being.
