Title:
A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING FLOATING OBJECTS ON A SURFACE OF WATER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/208159
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A method and system for collecting objects floating on or suspended near a surface of water. A collecting system is employed comprising a floating barrier. The collecting system is unanchored to or on the seabed such that the collecting system is free to move along the surface of the water. A submerged portion and non-submerged portion is provided connected to the floating barrier, such that a velocity of the floating barrier along the surface of the water differs from a surface velocity of the water at the location of the floating barrier. Collected plastic objects can be recycled. Further, the ocean currents are followed while being able to collect plastic.
