With the rising problem of water pollution and the contamination of various water bodies, there is a pressing need for solid action. A 2019 Quality Council of India assessment found that more than 70% of towns along the Ganga were directly disposing of their waste into the river because they lacked proper municipal waste plants. More than 38,000 million litres of waste water enter Indian rivers due to the lack of sewage treatment plants and improper waste disposal mechanisms. Stakeholders involved in industrial production need to step forward and maintain a proper disposal system that reduces the problem. Some companies are already providing solutions via their disposal and waste management models and here is a list of them.
AlphaMERS
AlphaMERS focuses on producing machines for plastic pollution mitigation, ocean renewables and oil spill response. They produce Floating Trash Barriers (FTBs) that effectively capture solid waste while allowing water to flow freely. The strategic placement of the barriers diagonally across the water ensures that trash is carried to one end, where it can be easily recovered. They have also developed Floating Wetlands which are small artificial platforms which allow hydroponic plants to grow with their roots spreading through the platform into the water. They also have various solutions related to Oil Spill Response and Ocean Energy Remedies.
