Plastic trash interceptor could be a very effective intervention to prevent plastic getting into our rivers and oceans. CM Thiru M.K.Stalin has just sanctioned the TN Coastal Restoration Mission for 14 coastal districts in TN at a cost of Rs 1675 Crores. We will work on several initiatives like... show more

@mkstalin We’d be happy to explore bringing Interceptors to Tamil Nadu!

@mkstalin When will Cooum & Adyar be cleaned ma’am? Also ma’am our cities among the dirtiest in the country! Plz escalate the issue for better waste management practices! @supriyasahuias

@mkstalin The cost of the plastic trash interceptors should be passed on to plastic bottle companies, to start with, the big beverages and bottled water companies - @CocaCola @PepsiIndia and @BisleriZone

@mkstalin @CocaCola @PepsiIndia @BisleriZone Great idea. In any case they have to comply with EPR regulations

@mkstalin Mam, like this in Cooum? If it's really effective, should be replicated.

@mkstalin வழக்கமா இந்த மாதிரி அறிவுப்புகளை எல்லாம் முதல்வர் தானே வெளியிடுவார்... 🧐🧐🤔🤔😲😲😲😲

It is time govt. must also back up these efforts with source segregation efforts. The bottlers and bottle manufacturers must be held responsible. Germany has had pfand - bottle recycle system - in practise for several years now. Hoping you and other officials really take this up to the decision makers and bring out proactive change, even though these reactive measures are important too.

@DattaChaudhuri @mkstalin The only problem with the plastics is that they remain on the surface….water shall continue to flow from under… The better use of plastics shall be in road works as an impermeable layer..

@mkstalin Ocean cleanup is an amazing NGO who are doing a good job for quite some time in protecting the oceans from plastic pollution...it would be amazing if TN govt can partnered with ocean cleanup and try to clean up all the important rivers in tamilnadu..

.Amazon Web Services is helping The Ocean Cleanup find and remove plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, thanks to AI and cloud computing. Here's the tech behind the mission. ⬇️ Machine learning models analyze satellite, drone, and sensor data to map where plastic accumulates. Then, our systems help to predict where debris will drift next and optimize cleanup routes in near real-time. AWS also powers data-driven maps that track how plastics move through rivers—accelerating the deployment of river plastic interceptors. The goal? Remove 90% of floating plastic by 2040. The Ocean Cleanup has already removed 64 million pounds of trash worldwide. AWS tech helps them work even faster and smarter.

The Ocean Cleanup has deployed U-shaped systems in the Pacific that passively collect plastic using ocean currents. Their Interceptor 007 is on pace to extract thousands of tons of waste. To date, they’ve removed over 8M Kgs of plastic from the ocean and rivers.

To optimize our cleanup strategy, our Research Team is on a constant mission to track how floating plastic is transported through rivers and how it accumulates in oceans. Mapping global plastic pollution is a huge undertaking, but you can take part in this effort by downloading our Survey App and collecting data from your location.

Now thats a cleanup! In this bay we removed a total of 166 kg of ocean plastic. And that’s all washed up since November when we last cleaned here. A clear sign of just how much ocean plastic pollution we have on the west coast of Sweden.

Every day, the equivalent of over 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic is dumped into our oceans, rivers & lakes. This #WorldEnvironmentDay is a call to #BeatPlasticPollution. We must work as one to break our addiction to plastic, champion zero waste & build a circular economy.

Next came The Interceptor - a robot for rivers. A solar-powered, fully automated catamaran that parks in rivers and eats trash before it reaches the sea. It can collect up to 50,000 kg of waste per day. Because 1,000 rivers are responsible for 80% of all ocean plastic.
