Together with our partners Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland Rotterdam Circulair, Cargill, HEBO Maritiemservice B.V. , Gemeente Rotterdam we had a small launching event to officially inaugurate the Litter Traps! Thanks to our new Litter Traps we will be able to retrieve more marine litter from the rivers and prevent plastic pollution from entering the sea!
CLEAR RIVERS' Founding director, Ramon Knoester said: “During this trial period we have been able to try out and optimize the installations. We explored what the best locations within the city could be. We are extremely proud of the result: a system that works effectively with intense shipping, tidal changes and different wind directions. The Litter Traps capture marine litter by using the water current and most common wind direction. The Litter Trap has already proven its effectiveness in several (inter)national locations. We expect to retrieve an average of 150kg of marine litter a month.
