Cleanup in EarthShare New Jersey: An Innovative Solution for Waterway Restoration
Posted on: 21 Feb 2024
Water pollution is a pressing global issue that threatens ecosystems and human health. As pollution levels continue to rise, innovative technologies are being developed to combat this problem. One such technology is the RanMarine WasteShark, an aquatic drone designed to remove floating debris from waterways.
Algae-based microrobots able to clean up plastic waste
Posted on: 23 Nov 2023
Imagine you are but a piece of plastic, adrift in an endless ocean — a mere remnant of a once larger structure, the origin of which you do not recall. You are the product of many, many years of natural erosion, and yet you, invisible to the human eye, persist. Moved by the ocean’s whims, your fate is likely to be consumed by whichever organism stumbles upon you first. But suddenly, a shadow looms overhead, and much to your disbelief, it is no fish or squid, but a green sphere covered in bits of black iron, moving towards you at unnatural speeds. You feel yourself being pulled towards it, and as you approach, you realize it’s also covered in many others like you. Microrobots!

Marine bacteria bite into plastic pollution
Posted on: 01 Nov 2023
Bacteria found in the sea can degrade plastics that would otherwise resist microbial breakdown in marine environments.
The bacterium is called Vibrio ruber, and a specific strain carries an enzyme that can degrade the common polymer polybutylene succinate (PBS)
The bacterium’s potential was discovered by researchers at Hokkaido University, working with colleagues at the Mitsubishi Chemical Group in Japan. They say it could lead to improved ways to recycle this polymer.
“Plastic pollution in the ocean is a global problem and we need to tackle it by gaining new understanding of plastic behaviour in that environment, and new technologies to deal with the pollution,” says Tomoo Sawabe, leader of the research team at Hokkaido University’s Faculty of Fisheries Sciences.
As only a small number of marine microorganisms able to biodegrade PBS had been discovered previously, Sawabe and his colleagues set out to try to find others and with better activity. They examined the effect on PBS of microbes gathered from natural seawater off Japan, allowing them to identify several types of marine bacteria that could degrade it.
