Last summer, authorities in the town of Kwinana, Australia , have installed a new filtration system in the Henley reserve.
This system is incredibly simple and effective.
The government, like the citizens, have already been able to measure the advantages of this system. And they are really happy with it.
At comment-economiser.fr, we like innovations, especially those that protect nature.
That's why we wanted to tell you about this brilliant idea! Watch:
It consists of placing a net at the outlet of the water drainage pipes to collect large waste and thus protect the environment from pollution.
These pipes drain water from residential areas to natural areas.
Trash and garbage that comes from these residential areas is a nuisance. They pollute and destroy the environment.
Most of this waste is carried away by the rains, which carry it into the drainage system.
The city authorities came up with the idea of installing nets. And the results were astounding.
This new filtration system managed to recover more than 360 kg of waste in a few weeks.
It was therefore decided to install these waste traps throughout the city.
The aim is to minimize the pollution of fauna and flora.
Although the installation and manufacture of these nets has a cost, the system is profitable as a whole, as it allows significant savings.
For example, it saves the cost of the labor needed to pick up all the waste manually.
When the nets are full, they are lifted. And the garbage is then collected by collection trucks, before being transported to a sorting center.
There, everything is separated between what is non-recyclable and recyclable.
The collector nets are then replaced on the drain pipes to continue to do their job of filtering dirty water!
This new filtration system proves, once again, the importance of every little gesture.
And focusing on these little things can have a big positive impact on the environment and therefore on humanity as a whole.
When will we have the same filtration system in France to protect our rivers, rivers, seas and oceans from plastic waste?
