All in one solution

Pollution is a global problem affecting the Earth’s land, air and water and destroying the environment we live in, contaminating our food and water. While urban areas are generally more polluted than others, pollution is spreading to remote places.

The Argos solution for pollution tracking includes adapted hardware capable of following pollution in real-time as well as tailored drift models enabling clean-up crews in the field to remove the pollution and protect vulnerable marine areas and coastlines.

This versatile solution can be adapted to different pollution tracking such as plastic, oil, air or even sargassum. Our experts are available to help find the right solution for you.

plastic pollution in the ocean

Plastic Pollution

70% of the plastic we use is not recycled. Much of this waste is washed into our oceans, an FAO report concerning plastic pollution, published in 2019, estimates that 5 billion pieces of plastic are currently floating in our seas, which has disastrous consequences for the environment and human health.

Our dedicated Argos solution helps understand how waste moves through waterways.

sargassum

Sargassum Pollution

In limited amounts, sargassum plays an important role in maintaining coastal ecosystems. However, since 2011, huge sargassum mass strandings have occurred in the wider Caribbean region causing a range of biological and ecological impacts in affected regions.

With Argos, following and anticipating sargasso mats is easy, allowing authorities and local stake holders to anticipate and mitigate strandings.
