RMIT University and the University of Twente develop satellite tech for accurate remote beach plastic waste detection.

A study by RMIT University and the University of Twente reveals that new satellite technology can accurately detect plastic waste on remote beaches from space. This advancement, known as the Beached Plastic Debris Index (BPDI), enhances monitoring and cleanup efforts, addressing the growing global concern of plastic pollution, which is projected to double by 2030. This finding underscores the urgent need for action to protect marine ecosystems and public health.
