The Autonomous Pollution Control Drone Project (APCD project)

• By 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than there are fish (by weight).  

• About 8 million metric tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually.

• There are five massive patches of plastic in the oceans around the world. These huge concentrations of plastic debris cover large swaths of the ocean; in fact the one between California and Hawaii called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the size of the state of Texas.

​

 

The autonomous pollution control drone (APCD) technology creates a fish drone which can autonomously work using power from solar panels and by combining mechanical and biological means to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans.
