HydraATM removes plastic waste at its source, before rain and rivers carry it into the ocean — routing every kilogram we collect back into local recycling plants instead of the sea.
Storm drains, streams and rivers carry it downstream and out to sea — where it breaks apart, entangles wildlife, and enters the food chain. Stopping it upstream is the only reliable fix.
A quick look at how a single collection moves from the ground to a second life.
Collection points, sorting hubs and community drives keep waste out of drains and off open ground.
Neighborhood drop-off bins make it easy for households to hand over plastic waste.
Mesh screens fitted at drain entrances catch debris during rainfall.
Root systems stabilize soil, reducing erosion that washes waste downstream.
Once plastic reaches the coast, our ocean team pulls debris from the water and shields marine habitats.
Regular shoreline sweeps target the tideline, where debris concentrates most.
Low-cost booms at river mouths intercept plastic before it disperses.
Field teams track entanglement and ingestion cases to guide next cleanups.
Every collection is logged by weight and material type, so our impact is tracked, not estimated.
We work upstream — streets, drains, rivers — stopping plastic before it becomes ocean pollution.
Sorted material goes to named recycling partners, and every step is reported publicly on this site.
