Interceptor 06

The Interceptor is a moored, fully solar-powered vessel that guides floating debris onto a conveyor and into onboard containers. It runs around the clock without a crew, and offloads directly to local waste-management partners.

Interceptor 06

How it works

  1. 01

    Guide

    A floating barrier steers river debris toward the Interceptor's mouth using the natural flow.

  2. 02

    Convey

    A conveyor lifts the plastic out of the water and distributes it across onboard containers.

  3. 03

    Store

    Sensors track fill levels and shift the load to keep the vessel balanced and running.

  4. 04

    Offload

    When full, containers are swapped and handed to local recycling partners.
