During the summer, the City of Turku and the Baltic Sea Challenge will cooperate with Clewat Oy by testing a new type of Cleansweep-water cleaning vessel. The vessel collects plastic waste from the Aurajoki from the center of Turku on August 18-20.

We at Clewat believe that combination of science, innovation, legislation and private and public partnership are the keys for long-term prevention and stopping plastic pollution reaching the oceans.

The city’s Baltic Sea Challenge and its construction service company Stara are working together this summer with Clewat Oy on the tryout of a new trash collecting boat, the Cleansweep-vessel.

How can we reduce the amount of plastic waste that finds its way into our seas? Can we remove marine litter that is already there?
