The Litter Trap with the longest boom in The Netherlands.
In collaboration with Rijkswaterstaat and CLEAR RIVERS, the largest Litter Trap in the Netherlands is being constructed in the Wilhelminahaven tidal park in Schiedam; due to the favorable location, a lot of waste can be removed from the water in this spot. The work in the Wilhelminahaven has been completed with the construction of the plastic catcher.
