Meet the Seabin, an ingenious floating rubbish collector invented by two Australian surfers, Pete Ceglinski and Andrew Turton, who were tired of surfing through plastic. Installed in marinas, harbours, and yacht clubs, the device works like a pool skimmer: a submersible pump sucks water in from the surface, trapping debris, oil, fuel and microplastic in a catch bag then pumps the clean water back out.
In a single year, one Seabin can collect up to 500 kg of plastic waste. With units now deployed in over 50 countries.
