Solution
Azure
Phase 1
Azure system is a disruptive technology developed to extract plastic and solid waste from rivers, preventing them to reach the ocean.
A barrier retains floating waste in the river and redirects it to the shore without altering the wildlife's course.
Phase 2
A transporting band extracts accumulated waste from the shore and carries it to a collection point.
Phase 3
Using AI software, photographs of the extracted waste are taken, and data is obtained to formulate public policies for its management.
Phase 4
Once outside the water, the waste is sorted and weighed, then separated by category. Based on this classification, research is conducted for their revaluation and transformation into raw materials to produce new products with strategic partners.
Cyan
Phase 1
The innovative technology of the Cyan system employs a floating cell with an internal box that intercepts and collects solid waste and plastics as they flow in river currents.
Phase 2
The Cyan system collects and stacks waste in a cell that, when full, is taken ashore for sorting and management.
Phase 3
Photographs are taken and data is extracted from the collected waste to formulate public policies for its management.
Phase 4
The waste is sorted and weighed, then separated by category. Based on this classification, it is processed into raw materials to give them a new life as recycled plastic.
The most contaminated
rivers in Ecuador
Guayllabamba River and
Guayas River
Our ambitious environmental conservation technology will clean these two great rivers.
Volunteering
We use drones to identify ecosystems swamped by waste and promote cleanup campaigns with active volunteers.
Community
work
We collaborate with grassroots waste pickers and involve the community to change consumer behaviors towards more sustainable practices.
