Plastic catcher "Patje Plastic" will prevent plastics and other unwanted floating waste from further spreading via the waterways.
"Patje" has not only been given a name, but also a pair of eyes, because he is an important employee for a series of sustainable projects that Port of Antwerp actively endorses.
This innovative system consists of 75% recycled material, and works on a wind, wave and gravity basis. A floating arm 100 metres long and 1,5 metres deep leads the plastics to the mouth of the plastic trap.
