Marine plastic waste has brought serious harm to the natural ecosystem and human economy and society: First, marine plastic waste will directly threaten the survival of marine life. Fish, turtles, seabirds and other marine animals will suffocate and die du
On March 12, 2025, I filed a patent application in New Zealand titled “An Efficient and Eco-Friendly System and Method for Marine Plastic Waste Treatment” (Application No. 819457). This innovation is designed to clean up 100,000 tons of marine plastic waste from the Pacific Ocean within 100 working days, producing 300,000 cubic meters of marine-safe backfill material. The technology is scalable, cost-effective, and globally deployable. 🔧 Core Technology Overview Composite Binder: Made from 65% patented solidifying agent and 35% volcanic ash (or thermal power plant fly ash) Target Material: Capable of binding and solidifying ocean plastic waste with up to 30% moisture content Processing Conditions: Fully cures in 6 hours at 60°C with industrial-scale mold-based production Environmental Safety: Extremely low formaldehyde emission (0.005 mg/L, tested by TÜV Rheinland®); samples submerged in seawater for 60 days remain stable, with projected durability exceeding 100 years 🚢 Industrial-Scale Deployment Plan (as per patent) Platform: A 100,000-ton cargo vessel equipped with 100 onboard molds (each 10 m³ capacity) Each mold processes 10 tons/day → Total daily capacity: 1,000 tons Project budget: USD 500 million, with 1/6 allocated to reusable fixed assets Mobile system design allows relocation to other polluted marine regions post-Pacific operation
