The UN has identified marine pollution as the world's fastest-growing environmental challenge. An estimated 4.8 to 12.7 million tons of plastic waste infiltrate the oceans annually, equivalent to a truckload every minute throughout the year. Once in the seas, up to 94 percent (WWF, 2018) sinks to the seabed, breaking down into micro-plastic particles over time. Consequently, it is imperative to implement measures preventing plastic waste inflow before it reaches open oceans. Clean Sea Solutions was founded with the vision of creating commercially and environmentally sustainable tech solutions for waterfront areas. Our mission is to curb and prevent the influx of marine plastic waste into oceans, contributing to global ocean sustainability. Focused on developing systems for efficient plastic waste cleanup near the shore, we collaborate with established partners in the Norwegian offshore, autonomy, and maritime industries. Together, we pioneer innovative stationary and autonomous solutions tailored for collecting plastic waste in lakes, canals, rivers, harbors, marinas, and other waterfront areas, utilizing resources for maximum impact. Furthermore, our commitment extends to integrating cutting-edge technology. We incorporate computer vision and data collection mechanisms for real-time insights and enhance the impact of our efforts through automated sustainability reporting. By combining environmental responsibility with technological innovation, we strive for a cleaner and healthier future for our oceans.
