River Cleaning System
Partner(s)/Owner(s): River Cleaning
Other Partners Involved: University of Maribor – Sustainability Assessment
Brief Description:
River Cleaning offers significant advantages: it’s semi-permanent, eco-friendly, modular, adaptable, and requires no external power. It ensures high performance with minimal capital and operational costs. The system is easy to manufacture, operates seamlessly with river activity, and opens business opportunities, including plastic credits, sponsorships, and revenue from collected materials.
Problem:
Plastic pollution in rivers poses a significant environmental challenge, contributing to the global problem of marine debris. Traditional river cleanup methods often rely on manual labor and are limited in their reach and efficiency. This makes it difficult to effectively capture and remove plastic litter before it reaches the oceans, where it harms marine life and ecosystems.
Furthermore, many existing solutions require external power sources or extensive infrastructure, increasing operational costs and environmental impact, while the lack of efficient waste sorting and processing capabilities often hinders the transition towards a circular economy.
Solution:
The River Cleaning System is an innovative, semi-permanent solution addressing river plastic pollution, a major source (85%) of marine litter. Utilizing spinning modules, it efficiently collects riverine litter, preventing clogging and plastic breakdown. Unlike traditional methods, this system is fully autonomous and eco-friendly, integrating seamlessly with river activities and requiring minimal maintenance. Optimizing collection, it supports waste valorization, transforming collected material into resources, aligning with REMEDIES’ circular economy goals.
