story image

Description

During 2023 and 2024 CLIC SEA Decontamination Barriers have been deployed in the Port of Barcelona. Multiple designs have been tested and analysed to ensure an end product that efficiently adsorbs heavy metals and hydrocarbons from the ports water, while being easy to use and handle by port personnel. Through an eco design process the barrier has been designed with only natural recycled materials into a modular system allowing the barriers to be deployed in various situations and environments suiting the need. Smart Decontamination Barriers with sensors and an IoT platform were deployed to track water quality with real time data in a mobile application and an IoT platform. CLIC SEA barriers were proven better at adsorbing heavy metals and hydrocarbons than conventional decontamination products making them greatly suitable in ports, coastal environments and shipping areas.

Impact & Result

One year deployment of 36 CLIC SEA Decontamination Barriers in the Port of Barcelona removed: -4320 kg of hydrocarbons from the sea in the port -625 kg of polypropylene products from ports -50,5 g of heavy metals -Collected and converted 1080 kg of hair waste into useful resources In total every 1 tonne of hair recycled reduces 6.3 tonnes of C02 (reduces 1.8t by hair recycling, reduces 1.8t for reduscing polypropylene, 0.8t for reducing plastic, 1.9t for producing mulch used inside barrier)

Solution Spotlight

CLIC SEA Smart Sea Decontamination Barriers are innovative, biodegradable solutions designed to combat marine pollution. Made from recycled human hair waste - a regenerative local natural resource - they naturally and efficiently adsorb hydrocarbons and heavy metals from water resources, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic-based products. Equipped with IoT sensors and real-time data tracking, they monitor water quality, providing valuable insights for environmental management. Ideal for ports, marinas, and coastal industries, they support marine ecosystem protection while aligning with circular economy principles.
