Clean Sea Solutions

Marine plastic pollution is the world’s fastest-growing environmental problem, posing a severe threat to ecosystems and human well-being. With only 6% of marine debris being effectively intercepted before reaching open waters, the need for a scalable and efficient solution is critical.

Clean Sea Solutions offers an innovative approach with the Aquapod®, an autonomous device designed to clean and monitor waterfronts continuously. Operating 24/7, the Aquapod intercepts marine plastic waste with minimal disturbance to the environment.

It has already been proven effective in ports in Norway and the Netherlands, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Aquapod in various marine environments. By 2024, the company aims to have over 40 Aquapods installed, with a long-term goal of deploying 1,000 units within three years and 25,000 units in the Mediterranean Sea to make a substantial impact.

Strategic partnerships with entities like the Flakk Group and ASvz Rotterdam highlight the practical benefits and customer satisfaction.
