PortBin ShoreCleaner for efficient plastic clean-up on land

Plastic pollution does not only accumulate in ports and rivers – large volumes also end up on shorelines, industrial sites, along transport routes and in urban environments.

Plastic producers and transporters are under increasing pressure from initiatives such as Operation Clean Sweep® and stricter EU regulations to prevent pellet loss and environmental leakage. In addition, rubber granulate from artificial turf pitches is a growing source of microplastic pollution, with increasing regulatory focus across Europe.

These types of pollution are often found in hard-to-reach areas, making manual clean-up inefficient, costly and incomplete.

PortBin ShoreCleaner is a highly mobile vacuum-based system designed to remove plastic waste directly from ground surfaces. The system efficiently collects plastic pellets, fragments, microplastics and rubber granulate using powerful suction.

Waste is stored in a container and can be easily handled and disposed of. A separate sifter unit enables sorting into different fractions, improving recycling and waste management.

PortBin ShoreCleaner can be used in coastal zones, industrial areas, ports, along transport routes and around artificial turf pitches. It is highly mobile, allowing operators to access difficult terrain for both rapid response to pollution incidents and routine clean-up operations.

PortBin ShoreCleaner offers a range of benefits, including:

• Support for Operation Clean Sweep® and EU regulatory compliance
• Removal of macroplastics, microplastics and rubber granulate
• Reduced environmental risk from industrial plastic loss
• Significantly lower manual clean-up costs
• Mobility and adaptability across multiple use cases
• Improved ESG reporting and environmental performance

Regulatory pressure and industry commitments are driving demand for solutions that prevent plastic leakage across the entire value chain. Plastic producers, logistics operators, municipalities and sports facility owners are all seeking effective tools to document and reduce environmental impact.

PortBin ShoreCleaner complements other SpillTech solutions such as PortBin Tide and PortBin TrashTrawl, forming a complete toolbox for stopping plastic pollution from source to sea.

SpillTech is actively targeting growth in Europe and globally, where compliance, reporting and environmental accountability are becoming increasingly important.
