Poralu Marine Reports Rapid Sales of Seabins Floating Waste Collectors

Poralu Marine has sold 150 of its Seabins floating waste collectors during its pre-sales campaign. More than 50 sites throughout Europe now use Seabins including the cities of Paris, Marseilles and Venice. The company’s goal is to sell 400 units in its second year.

Seabins, designed by Australian start-up Seabin Project, are intended for use in harbors, marinas, rivers and lakes to recover any micro-waste larger than two millimeters. Poralu plans to open the Asia and Oceania markets in the coming weeks.

Laurent Gasiglia, managing director of Poralu Marine, said the company is producing the Seabins in its workshops in Port, in the Ain Department of France. “This choice represents a fundamental development for the Poralu Marine group, increasingly positioned for the provision of new solutions to environmental challenges,” Gasiglia said.
