Ocean-friendly floating trash filters solving ocean pollution

An ocean-friendly floating trash discovered to pull up the floating plastic and rubbish from ocean which even remove oil from the water.

Two Australian surfers, Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski developed the ‘Seabin”, a water filtering system. This can use in marinas, rivers and lakes. The Seabean project was crowdfunded in Indiegogo and tested in Europe. This can use as an alternative of manual costly methods.  Monthly cost of automated Seabin is around 20$ only comparing the manual trash boats.

The Seabin run by a shore-based water pump. The pump helps to suck water which collects debris into the bin. Do not fear! No fish trap record has been yet. Its flow brings all the surrounding trash, oil, can and plastics in bin. The Seabin made of recycled polyethylene plastic material. There have a removable catch bag in the bin made of natural fiber. The natural fiber bag filters dust and pumped out clean water.

The young age of the two surfers passed around water. They much tensed on the plastic problems in sea water. They quit their job to find out a solution of garbage in marinas. Finally they invented Seabin which at the same time both cost effective and ocean friendly.
