The Current State of Plastic Pollution and the Importance of Trash Booms
Each year, the world produces over 400 million tons of plastic, yet only about 10% of it is recycled. An estimated 19-23 million tons of plastic waste become trapped in rivers, lakes, and oceans annually. This has a severe impact on ecosystems, particularly river systems and marine environments.

The Impact of Plastic Waste
On Water Environments: Causes water pollution, affecting aquatic life.
On Wildlife: Many bird and fish species mistake plastic for food, leading to a high risk of death.
On Humans: Microplastics can enter the food chain, posing long-term health risks.
So, how can we prevent the massive influx of plastic waste into water bodies? The best solution is floating trash booms.

Trash booms are floating barriers designed to block waste on the water surface, preventing it from flowing downstream. They are widely used in rivers, lakes, and oceans, especially in eco-tourism areas or near large bridges where waste tends to accumulate.
Trash booms operate by intercepting and directing floating waste toward a designated collection area. Through a system of buoys and nets, trash is contained, making it easier to collect and process.
Prevent plastic waste from polluting rivers.
Reduce negative impacts on marine ecosystems.
Create a cleaner environment for aquatic organisms.
Minimize the risk of waterway blockages caused by waste.
Protect eco-tourism sites and riverside communities.
