Two Australians, Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski, created the Seabin, a floating rubbish bin that can collect plastic bottles, paper, oil, fuel, and detergent floating in the ocean. It was built as a cheap and low maintenance alternative to “trash boats.”
“One of the goals is to make the Seabin from our own plastics to create another Seabin to capture more, it’s a domino effect,” say the creators. “The second goal is to create a world where we don’t need the Seabin.”
They make nearly everything in-house themselves and aim to start shipping mid to late 2016. You can help make this happen by contributing through Indiegogo – at the time of writing, they’ve collected $39,766 out of their $230,000 goal.

The idea is great, but this needs to be taken to another level which is making it more practical and capable of actually cleaning large areas of water.

Thinking like that is like: I want to resolve the world hunger, but I let this homeless man outside of my house to die from hunger because he is a scale too small.
