Beneath the surface

60%of unmanaged urban plastic waste in developing economies leaks into waterways

Source: World Bank / UNEP estimates on urban plastic leakage; aligned with AquaSweep field surveys in Lagos lagoons. Figure represents unmanaged waste that enters water bodies rather than total municipal waste.

What floats is a fraction. The rest is on the bed.

Floating booms and skimmers only catch the visible layer. AquaSweep goes deeper — certified commercial dive teams recover submerged plastics, fishing gear and legacy debris from lagoon and canal beds, weighed and logged before it ever reaches shore.

Life under water

Recovery that protects life below water.

Every kilogram recovered is a kilogram that no longer entangles fish, smothers aquatic vegetation or enters the food chain. AquaSweep aligns with UN SDG 14: Life Below Water — restoring the underwater habitats that communities and economies depend on.

  • Reduced
