Elevator Pitch

Plastic River Barrier develops smart floating barriers that capture plastic waste in rivers and streams before it reaches the ocean. Our system uses solar power and environmental sensors to monitor pollution

Climate Problem

Plastic River Barrier combats plastic pollution in rivers and drainage systems, a problem that exacerbates flooding, damages ecosystems, and increases the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities.

Solution

We develop smart floating barriers that capture plastic waste in rivers before it reaches the ocean, using sensors and solar power to monitor pollution and prevent flooding.

Revenue Model

We will generate revenue through the installation of smart barriers, maintenance, environmental monitoring, and partnerships with city governments, NGOs, and recycling companies to reuse collected plastic waste.

Target Market

Our target market includes city governments, environmental agencies, NGOs, urban communities, and companies interested in sustainable solutions to reduce pollution, prevent flooding, and monitor water bodies.

Social Impact

Migrants, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women

Demand Evidence
