Hoola One
Recently, the importance of marine pollution due to micro-plastics has been reported. It's said that the micro-plastics of less than 5mm is not filtered by the sewage treatment facility so that it flows into the river and the sea as it is.
When marine organisms ingest them, they're eventually returned to the people who eat marine life, so measures are needed.
This cleaner, called 'Hoola One', is a vacuum cleaner dedicated to beach micro-plastics developed by students of an university in Quebec, Canada. When you use the vacuum cleaner to suck up micro-plastics with sand, the plastics in the connected water tank floats in the water and the sand and stones sink, and only the filtered sand and pebbles are sent back to the beach.
It's currently working on the problem through the test run, and the recent test showed very satisfied results.
Hopefully we can get a product out of the micro-plastics risk that could pose a threat to humans.
