The article "Seabin using plastic to fight plastics" (2019) describes the dangers of micro fibers and micro plastic in water bodies and introduces the Seabin technology as a possible method to tackle this problem by elaborating on its functionalities and discussing future improvements.
Micro plastics and micro fibers are a big issue concerning aquatic life as well as humanity itself. These "organic pollutants", which measures up to 5mm in diameter are eaten by aquatic life which in turn gets eaten by humanity. The Seabin technology works by trapping all trash flowing through it by the filtration method. With the addition of sensors placed onto the Seabin, observations can be made on the amount of mirco plastics and micro fibers in open waters. With further improvements done to the Seabin Project, such trash in our open waters will be reduced drastically.
