emissions are expected to double in Australia by 2025
Plastic pollution is in the top 5 nature crisis's. Millions of tonnes of plastic pollution enters our oceans each year causing devastating impact to all life under water and on the planet. Plastic is now found in our bodies and linked to cancer. Plastic pollution also poses a signficant financial risk to economies like tourism, fishing and the consumer packaged goods sector from branded litter entering the environment leading to product bans and legal action.
our purpose
Why we do it
The Seabin system is simple. We deploy Seabins in plastic pollution hotspots in cities like Sydney, Australia
We capture microplastics and plastic pollution daily. We then process the data for monitoring and reporting purposes. To create revenue, we sell the impact data to companies for sustainability reporting purposes, or to help reach plastic net positive. As a company, Seabin has evolved into an innovative smart cities program and financial model, where we still use our technology to monitor plastic pollution.
marine pollution
Marine pollution poses a critical threat to our oceans, impacting marine life and ecosystems worldwide. Seabin is committed to combating this issue through innovative technology. Our automated floating rubbish bins operate continuously to filter marine debris, including plastics and microplastics, from the water's surface.
seabin capture
Seabin captures marine litter effectively with its innovative design and technology. Deployed in marinas and harbours, each unit operates 365 days capturing floating litter such as plastics, oils, and microplastics from the water's surface. Capable of holding up to 20kgs Seabins play a crucial role in reducing marine pollution. The Seabins are equipped with a filtration system that efficiently collects waste while allowing clean water to pass through, minimising environmental impact.
servicing
Servicing is crucial to maintain a Seabins' optimal performance and to ensure effective capture of marine litter. During servicing, the unit is switched off, taken out of the water and pressure washed to remove marine fouling like barnacles and other organisms. Operational checks are done to test the pump, catch net, and plunger mechanism.
data & reporting
Data and reporting are vital for transparency in environmental efforts including monitoring plastic pollution. Each Seabin's marine debris catch is analysed, integrating variables like rainfall and wind patterns to understand litter origins. Our current data, research, and reporting aim to inform communities and stakeholders while serving as a credible resource for effective marine litter prevention.
Since July 2020, we've captured over
120
Tonnes
of marine litter from sydney harbour
and filtered more than
23.6
Billion
litres of water for microplastics and litter
in 2023 we collected
4.7
Million
plastic items including 2.3M microplastics

"The 'Roche Seabin' was installed at King Street Wharf in March 2023, just a stone's throw from Roche Australia's Pharmaceutical Headquarters at The Bond, adding to the existing network of Seabins in the waters around Australia, working to clean up our oceans. We are thrilled to see the immediate impact of our sponsorship with over 450,000 pieces of plastic collected by the Roche Seabin and removed from Sydney Harbour in its first 9 months. Sustainability is integral to our business at Roche and we are proud to sponsor Seabin and really excited about the potential broader impact of our partnership going forward."

We came on board as Unit Sponsors in March 2023, it has been rewarding to see the impact our partnership is having with the Oris sponsored Seabin collecting over 20,000 plastic items from the Sydney Harbour alone.

The success of Seabin's Smart City Program is largely due to the incredible support from our Sponsors and Partners. Plastic pollution is everyone's problem and it is heartwarming to see the dedication and commitment Seabin sponsors have to cleaning up our oceans through supporting Seabin.
