The Solution
Building the first of its kind, hull integrated system that would turn the global shipping fleet into a distributed, ocean remediation and environmental data network.
Capturing microplastics, while cutting fuel and biofouling on every voyage
Who We Are
Bridging innovative and emergent technologies with marine life ingenuity,
Clean Wake is an evolving consortium led by Sequoia Biomimicry that is bringing together researchers and industry leaders in the fields of material science, naval and chemical engineering, 3D printing, ocean stewardship, and shipping, to remediate these issues on a global scale.
The Global Microplastic Map
In addition to capturing microplastics, and reducing biofouling, the Clean Wake panels are embedded with MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical-systems) that not only relay information in real time about panel saturation and maintenance, but work to map out microplastic concentrations in the open water and the amount of remediation achieved per voyage. The collective data is important for the shipping industry, regulatory institutions and researchers alike.
