The Au fil de l'eau association, based in Choisy-le-Roi (Val-de-Marne), will soon be able to count on a model of boat designed to collect waste.
The boat could eventually remove floating foreign bodies, larger waste such as tires and plastic bottles, but also hydrocarbons from the water, says Actu Val-de-Marne.
Baptized L'Ancitrus, it is likely to intervene on the Seine and the Marne.
The boat equipped with a new technology allowing collections at 5 m depth is being developed in Paimpol (Côtes-d'Armor).
It has the particularity of allowing the occupants not to be in contact with materials recovered from the water, which are potentially harmful.
The Ancitrus should be ready to sail by early 2023, reports the
Les Echos
website .
The concept of the ship was rewarded by the Department at the end of last November.
It was in fact honored in the “Start-up assistance” category at the eleventh edition of the prizes for social and solidarity economy companies (ESS) organized by the Val-de-Marne.
The Departmental Council has set itself the goal of making the Seine and the Marne accessible to swimmers by 2024.
