The two men quit their jobs and decided to create a trash bin for the ocean,
which they called a "seabin." They made the first model of the seabin and raised
money to start the Seabin Project. The project's aim was to distribute a lot of
seabins around the world. The seabins were designed to automatically collect trash

The increasing amount of trash in the ocean is a big global issue nowadays. It is

difficult to collect plastic bottles, plastic bags, cans and oil drifting on the waves. It
would take a lot of time and effort. However, in Australia, two surfers named Pete
Ceglinski and Andrew Turton never gave up hope. They had always loved the

Seabins are very simple to use. A seabin is installed several centimeters below
the surface of the water. When the pump is turned on, water flows into the seabin
with trash on the surface. Then the water passes through a catch bag inside the

bin. The water is pumped back into the sea, leaving the trash inside the catch bag.
Seabins are able to collect plastic that is as small as two millimeters. The catch bag
can hold up to 20 kilograms. The amount of trash collected varies depending on

A pad to absorb oil, detergent and microfibers can also be attached to the

seabin. Improvements like this continue to be made. The project team is also trying
to educate people. For example, the team is teaching children what they can do to
reduce the amount of trash in the ocean so that they can influence other members
of their family and their friends. The goal of the Seabin Project is to make the
ocean clean so that these seabins will no longer be needed. Ceglinski and Turton
hope to pass on a clean ocean to future generations.
