What’s a Seabin?
The Seabin is a floating rubbish bin that is located in the water at marinas, docks, yacht clubs and commercial ports.
The Seabin moves up and down with the range of tide collecting all floating rubbish. Water is sucked in from the surface and passes through a catch bag inside the Seabin, with a submersible water pump capable of displacing 25.000 LPH (litres per hour), plugged directly into 110/220 V outlet. The water is then pumped back into the marina leaving litter and debris trapped in the catch bag to be disposed of properly.
The Seabin also has the potential to collect a percentage of oils and pollutants floating on the water surface.

Seabin Project - For Cleaner Oceans “Our Seabin in Hong Kong is being monitored and every bit of debris is weighed by a team. It catches between 6 and 12 kgs of trash per day. These figures indicate that over a year, one Seabin can catch as much as 2,8 tons of trash ! Despite its reasonable size, Seabin does make a huge job & a big difference ! “ Claire Touvier, Poralu Marine |
