# Floating Oceanic Garbages The Seabin Project are Automated Trash Cans Designed for the Ocean By M | Published 2015-12-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-trash-can References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/seabin-ocean-garbage/) & [seabinproject](http://www.seabinproject.com/) The Seabin Project offers an innovative solution to keeping the world's large bodies of water clean with a series of automated trash cans designed to pull out oil, [floating garbage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floatis) and other unwanted items directly from the water. This is an promising solution to clean out areas populated with dirt and grime that are otherwise left untouched. The oceans are often littered with unwanted garbage that can be harder to clear away with the residue is a liquid product or sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The Seabin project offers automated trash cans that creatively float on the water's surface and clean out items such as [spilled oil, fuel, detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-something-for-nothing) and litre without the need for a person to facilitate the action. This is ideal for areas often populated by boating or consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automated Oceanic Trash Cans:** The use of robotic technology to clean up oceans and other large bodies of water, creating opportunities for companies in the robotics industry. - **Marine Pollution Solution:** The demand for effective and sustainable solutions to address marine pollution, creating opportunities for companies in the environmental services industry. - **Ocean Clean-up Innovation:** The need for innovative and efficient solutions to clean up the world's oceans, creating opportunities for companies in the renewable energy industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Robotics Industry:** Companies in the robotics industry can take advantage of the opportunity to create and market technologies that can help reduce marine pollution and clean up oceans. - **Environmental Services Industry:** Companies in the environmental services industry can contribute to reducing marine pollution by providing effective solutions for cleaning up oceans and other large bodies of water. - **Renewable Energy Industry:** Companies in the renewable energy industry can explore and invest in ocean clean-up technologies that can also generate clean energy as a disruptive innovation opportunity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aquatic Floating Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-marine-farm.md) - [Ocean-Themed Fundraisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamseas.md) - [AI-Powered Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binko-recycling-machine.md) - [Trash-Converting Snack Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seanack.md) - [Rodent-Preventative Trash Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/group-project.md) - [Oyster-Harvesting Water Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-robot.md) - [Innovative Maritime Transportation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maritime-transportation-system.md) - [Ocean Plastic Pot Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elho.md) - [Recycled Plastic Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mast.md)
