Let's take care
of our rivers!
It is time to take the first step, let's start collecting the debris floating in its waters.
Welcome
to Nauco
We are a company that cleans rivers of ocean-bound plastic waste.
Our biggest responsibility: taking care of our rivers.
THE MISSION
Decontaminate and clean up the plastic that circulates in the rivers
Why is it important?
How are we going to clean them?
With people, technology and bubbles, lots of bubbles.
Our system generates a bubble curtain that blocks the passage of plastics floating in rivers.
Bubble curtain
A curtain of bubbles is formed across the width of the rivers, generated by the injection of air from our system.
Plastic collector
The bubble curtain directs the waste to our collector, which extracts the plastics and papers that sail in its waters.
