@sambentley: This floating bin sucks in trash and microplastics from the ocean! It’s called the Seabin, invented by Australian surfers, and it uses an electrical pump to suck in water and filter out plastics while allowing clean water to pass through. They install the bins in plastic pollution hotspots, like marinas, and harbours, and they can hold up to 20kg of rubbish at a time and are emptied and serviced daily. Since July 2020, they have filtered 23.6 billion litres of water for microplastics. The bins also collect important data about how much plastic is being collected and how factors like wind and rainfall affect litter movement in the oceans. The Seabin Project’s ultimate goal is to create a world where seabins aren't needed in the first place, and to help create a pollution-free ocean for future generations. Would you like these installed near you? #goodnews #pollution #ocean #marine #conservation #plastic
