The Coca-Cola Company in Canada is sponsoring a new remote-controlled, mobile waste collector named PixieDrone to help Canadian not-for-profit Pollution Probe collect floating debris including organic, plastic, glass, metal, paper and rubber. The solution can collect a bathtub’s worth of waste (160 L) in a six-hour charge. The project is part of the Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup initiative, the largest environment cleanup initiative in North America.
