Did you know that our rivers are plastic highways? The Italian innovation capturing plastic before it reaches the sea. Goodbye, river trash!
An Italian company developed a modular technology for river cleaning, with the goal of intercepting, collecting, and accumulating plastic waste and pollutants before they reach the oceans.
The mechanism uses a series of floating devices with propellers that are placed diagonally in the river course. These divert the waste towards a storage area on the shore.
What’s interesting is its ability to operate autonomously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without the need for external energy, as it is self-powered using the river current.
This is adaptable to different types of rivers, regardless of their size or current speed. Additionally, its design ensures that it does not interfere with navigation or harm the fauna or flora of the environment.
