Noria Sustainable Innovators

From the Water Innovation Fund, Noria is receiving funding to produce its first systems that scoop plastic waste from our water.

Environmental benefits

Noria Sustainable Innovators is a company developing innovative solutions to the problem of plastic waste in our waters.

It is estimated that one truckload of plastic ends up in the sea every minute, and a very large portion of that comes from rivers. Plastic has the property of not decaying but gradually breaking down smaller plastic particles. These particles are then eaten by fish, birds and many other animals. In short this is a major environmental pollution and therefore enough reason to remove the plastic from our rivers, preferably close to the source.

Noria has several systems to capture plastic in the city, in the river or at a pumping station in a sustainable, fish-friendly and affordable way. The plastic scoop is a solution that removes as much as 95% of floating plastic from the water.

Water Quality

Also in the Netherlands, it is estimated that more than 3 million (according to some studies even 14 million) kilos of plastic waste flow through our rivers and beaches into the North Sea. By installing Noria's systems, we can significantly improve water quality in the Netherlands regarding plastics.
