Hoola One is a machine developed by students from the University of Sherbrooke, in Quebec, Canada, that removes microplastics from the beaches and rugged terrains.
The prototype was first tested in Kamilo Point, Big Island, Hawaii, and collected 230 pounds (104 kilograms) of microplastics in two weeks.
The machine uses the principle of buoyancy. All the materials - plastics, sands, wood, and debris - are vacuumed into a container full of water.
The microplastic will float; the sand will sink and rest at the bottom.
The commercial Hoola One model was finalized in November 2020.
It is smaller, can be easily transported either by hand, truck, or boat, and features three different modules, allowing users to access remote areas that are not served by roads.
