Making plastic pollution visible

AI-powered detection of visible microplastic pollution using computer vision and drones.

The Problem

Plastic pollution is widespread in coastal environments. Visible microplastics are difficult to detect and remove, making cleanup inefficient and costly.

Our Solution

We develop AI-powered computer vision software that detects and maps visible microplastic pollution in complex land environments.

Our system can identify objects as small as 2 mm and convert drone imagery into actionable environmental data for governments, municipalities, and private stakeholders.

The technology is designed to be integrated into drones for detection and mapping, as well as into small autonomous robots for future cleanup operations on land.

Impact

Visible microplastic pollution affects ecosystems and biodiversity across land and coastal environments. By using AI-based detection, we make visible pollution measurable and support more targeted and efficient cleanup strategies that reduce unnecessary disturbance of natural habitats.

Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals
