Our product
The Plastic Hunter
A portable and affordable floating wetland unit that collects and
removes microplastic debris from rivers via plan root biofilters.
Laminated structures made of composting pad, porous planting
membrane
and a fiberglass frame to support plant growth.
Modular form
designed to be easily connected to form a network.
THE PROCESS
STEP 1
Plastic Hunter pad deployed in polluted river.
STEP 2
Microplastic fragments adhere to plant roots over time until they become saturated.
STEP 3
Once saturated, the removable planting membrane is lifted from the water, while a fine net underneath the pad prevents microplastics from re-entering the river.
STEP 4
The contaminated plant matter is removed from the pad and is managed in secure facilities.
STEP 5
A new pad is then applied to the Plastic Hunter frame with fresh plants to continue entrapping microplastic pollutants.
