Approach
3R-method
We have developed the 3R method to tackle the plastic waste problem in water. This method tackles the problem in three steps: Research, Remove and Reuse.
By thoroughly understanding the problem in the Research step, we provide you with an idea of the location in the area where you can remove plastic from the water in the most sustainable and affordable way. With the insight from the first step, we can then use the most suitable solution in the Remove step to remove the plastic. To ensure that the plastic waste problem in water can be definitively stopped, we provide insight into the plastic that has been removed in the Reuse step. We can help you to set up preventive measures and policies from local to European scale.
In order to solve a problem, you must first understand the problem. In the Research step we help you to gain more insight into where the plastic comes from and where it goes. We provide insight into the sources, the transport and the locations where the plastic accumulates.
Using various methods and techniques, we can provide insight into the potential hotspot locations, the degree of pollution in your area and the flux of plastic at crucial points in your water area.

Thanks to the insight that has arisen from the Research step, we can help you to actually remove plastic from your water. For this we use the insights about the amounts of plastic and the transport profiles of the plastic in your area.
We can use one of our trapping systems to remove plastic. The CanalCleaner is a system designed for inner city areas and ports. The CirCleaner can be used on canals and rivers. We can also help you optimize the sailing routes of workboats in cities.

To ensure that together we can definitively stop the plastic waste problem in water, we make new information from the removed plastic. With these insights about amounts and the type of plastic that is removed, new preventive campaigns can be set up or new policies can be developed to tackle the plastic preventively.
We present the insights to you in the ForSea dashboard. With this you always have insight into the size and the possibilities of a preventive approach to the plastic waste problem. Together with you, we like to think about local and national measures against the plastic waste problem.
