Plastic Pollution Solution?

Words by Smiley Team

Last year, during the summer season, the authorities of Kwinana, a city in Australia, installed the new system for filtration in Henley Reserve. The system is incredibly simple. The citizens and also the government started experiencing the benefits as soon as they started using it. The system made them as satisfied as they can be.

This system consists of one net which is placed on the outlet of a drainage pipe which helps in capturing debris and in keeping the environment safe and protected from every type of contamination.

In fact, these pipes are draining water from some residential areas into natural areas. Also, the litter and trash from these places may be overwhelming, or even harmful for the environment. Moreover, the heavy rains usually wash the trash away, pulling it down to these systems of drainage.

The results surprised them because the new system of filtration managed to collect more than 800 pounds of garbage for a few weeks only.
