An Australian invention that is cleaning up our oceans is launching a global drive for investors.
'Seabins' are collecting almost 4 tonnes of litter and plastic from our waterway each day.
CEO and co-founder Pete Ceglinski told Sky News he wants the bins to operate in more than 150 countries in the next few years and aims to upscale his technology to create bigger devices that can rid oceans of more pollution. It's not going to go away any time soon, we need solutions, we need preventions from stopping plastics getting in there," Mr Ceglinski said.
