Seabin Project

Seabin's mission is to live in a world without the need for Seabins.

It may seem like a contradiction but at the end of the day, marine litter should not be in the water in the first place.

The idea was if there was rubbish bins on land, why not in the water? Over time, the scope of the project evolved into a comprehensive research, technology and educational initiative with global interest and reach.

The V5 Seabin unit is a “trash skimmer” designed to be installed in the water of marinas, yacht clubs, ports and any water body with a calm environment and suitable services available.

The unit acts as a floating rubbish bin skimming the surface of the water by pumping water into the device. The Seabin V5 can intercept: floating debris, macro and micro plastics and even micro fibres with an additional filter. By acting as a rubbish skimmer, the Seabin V5 is also able to clean the water from contaminated organic material (leaves, seaweed, etc…).

The Seabin V5 is easily equipped with oil absorbent pads able to absorb petroleum-based surface oils and detergent predominant in most marinas around the world.
