AkzoNobel Supporting The Ocean Cleanup

摘要

Anew project to help rid the seas of plastic waste has been launched by The Ocean Cleanup,with AkzoNobel providing coatings technology for the garbage-gathering system.The latest venture is focused on the Interceptor,a floating device that can extract plastic debris from rivers-preventing it from adding to the build-up in our oceans.Already tested in the Netherlands and South East Asia,the plan is to place Interceptors in 1,000 rivers over the next five years."As official coatings partner to The Ocean Cleanup,we're fully committed to supporting the fantastic work they're doing to stop the world drowning in plastic,"said Jean Michel Gauthier,global business director for AkzoNobel's Marine,Protective and Yacht Coatings business."As well as supplying marine coatings with a proven track record,our experts were also involved in the design of the Interceptor devices,so we're excited to see them deployed in rivers around the world."
