Majestic ‘8th continent’ collects and recycles plastic from the ocean

Posted by in categories: innovation, sustainability

Award-winning architect Lenka Petráková is pioneering a new way to tackle ocean pollution with an ambitious project named “The 8th Continent.” Her innovative design aims to recycle ocean plastic while functioning as a completely self-sustaining floating structure. If realized, it could mark a significant advancement in global conservation efforts.

“The 8th Continent” is an intricate, five-part structure designed to float on the ocean, equipped with greenhouses, living quarters, and biodegradable waste collectors. It represents more than just a plastic-collection unit; it’s a potential catalyst for restoring damaged marine ecosystems.

Designed to thrive amidst the ocean’s plastic tides, Petráková’s concept could provide a regenerative solution for our polluted waters.
