Plastic, a man-made product, is entering the water systems at a large scale. Because of its characteristics, it poses a major threat not only to the health of the marine environment, but also to public health. It is our responsibility and an investment in the future to keep the state of the marine environment in good condition. Plastics should not enter the water, period. This includes all kinds of plastics, but especially microplastics. Due to their small size and potential risk to both flora and fauna, the spillage of microplastics cannot be accepted.
Nurdle Soup strives to to use technology to increase accountability for spillage and to control and reduce the spillage. Next to detecting, Nurdle Soup also strives educate the public about the spillage of micro-plastics and the subsequent hazards of this spillage, in order to create more awareness for this environmental problem.
Our device aims to detect plastic granulate that floods the marine ecosystem and poses a threat to both animals and humans.
Our detection mechanism traces back the origin of the leakage of the plastic granulate.
With this hard data, generated by our device, we strive to change the processes of the conventional plastic industry.
