New device set to reduce plastics pollution at beaches
Update: 2025-10-14
Description
Each year, an estimated 4 million tonnes of plastic waste from urban and industrial centres ends up in marine environments. Rivers and waterways act like giant conveyor belts, carrying the waste to estuaries, beaches and oceans. And while we know a lot about how plastics travel once they're in the ocean, we know less about their journey there. Now a new tracking device is set to help change that and hopefully reduce the amount of water pollution. The device was designed and developed by Dr Peter Cleveland, who did his PhD at AUT and now lives in Vietnam and Singapore. He joins Mark Leishman.
