River Cleaner operating on a real waterway

How it works

Four stages, no operators in the water.

River Cleaner intercepts floating waste along the waterway and channels it automatically towards the bank, where it can be collected safely without operators in the water. The system works continuously, integrates with existing infrastructure and allows more efficient, safe and sustainable collection.

01
Floating barrier
A barrier channels floating waste towards the bank, without obstructing water flow or wildlife.
02
Conveyor belt
The belt removes debris from the water continuously and automatically.
03
Collection skip
Waste is deposited into standard street skips, already part of municipal collection.
04
Disposal or recycling
The operator empties the skips with ordinary vehicles. No dedicated logistics.

River Eye monitors the waterway and provides data on the quantity and type of waste. River Cleaner acts on that data. Together they cover the whole process, from monitoring to collection.
