Seabin Project: Cleaning our oceans one marina at a time. Designed by Australian surfers to clean up marinas, reduce ocean pollution
A floating rubbish bin that can collect trash in the sea has been deployed in Singapore waters.
The "seabin" was installed at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club in West Coast yesterday - making it the first seabin deployed in Asia.
In all, the seabin has been installed in about 16 countries, including Finland and the United States, with the first one deployed in British waters last October.
Finnish marine technology firm Wartsila, which has been involved in the Seabin Project since last year, is donating these bins to different marinas around the world.
The Seabin Project is an Australian clean tech start-up firm that sells these seabins, with an aim to clean up the oceans of the world.
Seabin Project chief executive Pete Ceglinski said: "Singapore is a leader in environmental sustainability, with a blueprint and a vision for a liveable and sustainable country.
"Early on, the correlation between a healthy environment and the quality of life was recognised here, which is why this garden city is the first in Asia to install a seabin."
