PortBin ShoreCleaner for efficient plastic clean-up on land
- Published 22 March 2023; updated 26 June 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Listed as available globally under Maritime, Industrial production and Smart cities.
- PortBin ShoreCleaner is SpillTech’s mobile, vacuum-based ground-cleaning system for plastic pellets, fragments, microplastics and rubber granulate. Suction collects material into a container for disposal; an optional separate sifter sorts fractions to support recycling and waste management. The page lists shorelines, industrial sites, ports, transport corridors and artificial-turf areas as use locations, including hard-to-reach terrain.
- The article notes plastic pellets can be lost during production and transport and cites Operation Clean Sweep and EU rules as drivers for prevention and reporting. It also identifies rubber crumb from artificial turf as a microplastic source. Manual cleanup in difficult locations is described as costly and incomplete.
- Stated benefits include lower manual-cleanup cost, reduced environmental risk from plastic loss, support for compliance and ESG reporting, and collection of both macro- and microplastics. The page describes PortBin ShoreCleaner alongside PortBin Tide and TrashTrawl as part of SpillTech’s source-to-sea pollution-control product range.
- SpillTech says it is pursuing growth in Europe and elsewhere as regulatory requirements and environmental reporting become more important for producers, logistics operators, municipalities and sports facilities.
- Linked to SDG 6 (Clean water and sanitation), SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) and SDG 14 (Life below water) for removing land-based plastic before it enters waterways and oceans.
