Solar-powered water wheel trash collector Wanda prevents 256,000 kg of waste from Panama's mangroves and oceans.
A solar-powered water wheel trash collector, named Wanda, has successfully prevented over 256,000 kg of plastic and waste from entering Panama's mangroves and oceans. Installed by the Marea Verde Foundation, the device collects trash from rivers for recycling. Despite its effectiveness, no similar systems exist on other Panamanian rivers, contributing to an estimated 100,000 tons of waste reaching the sea annually.
