Seabin: An Innovative Solution for Floating Waste
Seabin is an innovation designed to tackle the problem of floating waste on the water's surface in harbors, shallow water areas, and small open water spaces, particularly in marinas and fishing ports. Floating waste in water has significant impacts on the environment and marine life, and Seabin aims to reduce this waste using efficient technology.
How It Works
Seabin operates on the principle of water suction to reduce the amount of floating waste. This waste-catching device is cylindrical and can be installed at harbors or in shallow water areas. The operation of Seabin involves:
- Water Suction: The device sucks in water containing floating waste through an inlet pipe into the machine.
- Waste Filtration: Waste is captured in a filter bag located inside the device. The size of the filter bag allows it to capture various sizes of debris.
- Water Discharge: Clean water is released back into the environment without any remaining waste.

Seabin: A New Approach to Marine Cleanliness That Is Both Affordable and Effective
Australian entrepreneurs Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski came together to create the "Seabin," or "sea bin," a floating waste bin designed to capture debris such as plastic bottles, paper, oil slicks, and other types of marine litter. Unlike traditional "trash boats," which are high-efficiency but costly, Seabin offers a low-cost alternative that is equally effective.
"Seabin represents a revolutionary technology in marine cleaning. It’s a massive mission, and we’ve succeeded in achieving it. One of the goals in creating the sea bin was to address our plastic waste problem by designing a device that can capture more debris. Another goal is to create a world where we no longer need these sea bins."

Features and Benefits
Captures Various Sizes of Garbage: Seabin is designed to capture a wide range of floating waste, including plastic bottles, plastic bags, and fibrous materials. Its filtration system is effective in collecting debris of different sizes.
Reducing Environmental Impact: By removing floating waste from water bodies, Seabin helps protect marine life and minimize pollution. This reduction in aquatic litter contributes to a cleaner and healthier marine environment.
Driving Awareness: The presence of Seabin in water bodies serves as a visual reminder of the issue of aquatic litter. Its installation can increase community awareness about water pollution and encourage better waste management practices.
