Drones are helping to clean up the world's plastic pollution
CNN
UK startup Ellipsis Earth is using drones and computer software to map trash around the world.
The problem is so far-reaching it's hard to know where to start cleaning it up. But UK-based startup Ellipsis Earth believes it can help. Using drones fitted with cameras, Ellipsis maps the location of plastic pollution. Through computer software and image recognition, it's then able to identify the type of plastic, its size, and in some cases, even the brand or origin of the trash. This data can be used to inform solutions.More Related News
