PortsToronto Uses Wastesharks to Keep Floating Rubbish at Bay

PortsToronto launched in 2019 their Trash Trapping Program to help them keep water clean. They started with Seabins, which collect waste as well as clean water from oil and fuel, but they felt more was needed, so they deployed 2 autonomous aquadrones by Dutch company Ranmarine.

In this video, we interview Juhi Matta, Senior Manager of Environment, Social and Governance at PortsToronto, and Alistair Longman, Chief Product Officer at Ranmarine, to discuss PortToronto’s Trash Trapping Program, the use of Wastesharks, how these aquadrones work as well as what they’ll offer in the future as AI advances, and where the return on investment can be seen.
