Summary Analysis Draft #4

Introducing the Seabin Project – Summary Analysis Draft #4 MEC 1281 Summary Analysis Draft #4 By Claire Chia 1st April 2021 The article “Introducing the Seabin Project”, Jateff, (2018) describes how two surfers quit their jobs to create an ocean garbage collector named Seabin as they grew tired of swimming in garbage. Jateff states that plastic is a major contributor to ocean pollution and how Seabin can help to solve this issue. Seabin is an ocean rubbish bin that uses a motor that is powered from the shore to inject water so that the vortex created can pull the debris into a catch-bag and the Seabin also contain oil absorbent pads that cleans the seawater of petroleum-based oils and detergents. Additionally, the Seabin is able to collect rubbish from a 2-6 meter radius under good weather conditions and the Seabin should be placed strategically in places with congested waterways. The Seabin team is still working on improving the Seabin by making a reprocessed catch-bag and
