concept manta create the shredder of the future (time horizon 10-15 years) team project 4th semester 3 months

concept manta // 9

introduction The oceans nowadays contain 150 million tons of marine debris mainly spread over five huge garbage patches. Each one reaches the size from a small to a vast country like Texas. The pollution not only affects all kinds of sea creatures but also us, meaning we ultimately eat the plastic in the fish.

North Pacific garbage patch (size of Texas)

facts Plastic parts decompose to toxic microplastics 6x more microplastics than plankton in the gyres Sea creatures undeliberately eat microplastics We passively consume the toxic substances with our food

No nation whatsoever feels responsible to tackle this dramatic issue because there is no profit in it.

FROM SCRATCH TO FINISH

Our team took a very different approach to the obviously narrow topic of creating a shredder for the future.

We hoped to intertwine a down-to-earth task with the open ranged issue of the huge amounts of garbage in our oceans.

Our goal was to give an impuls to the little number of propositions which already exist.

HOW DOES IT WORK Floating litter is filtered out of the water with a kind of rake and then gets lifted up to the shredder unit. The chopped pieces are then put into an endless liner (bag) and get ejected while being attached to a transmiter-buoy.

process The Manta leaves the harbour and sets off to the open sea. In the destination area it lowers its rake and independently starts gathering the litter on its way which is then chopped, compressed and squeezed into a bag. At maximum volume the bag will be sealed and ejected while being attached to a transmitter-buoy. The buoy also prevents the bag from sinking. Passing ships can easily detect the bag and board it.

Back on land the plastic garbage is ready to be sold as recycable material.

Die Designstudie „Concept Manta“ in Kooperation mit Komptech zeigt, wie die Meere effektiv vom Plastik gereinigt werden.

MEERE SÄUBERN UND ROHSTOFFE GEWINNEN Für den Weg vom „Plastic Planet“ hin zum „Blue Planet“ hat Alexander Reinalter mit Kollegen von der FH Joanneum den „Concept Manta“ entworfen, der schwimmenden Kunststoffabfall einsammelt.

Partner ist die Firma Komptech. „Den Katamaran haben wir als ,Schredder der Zukunft‘ entwickelt. Wichtig war uns, ein Thema mit globaler Relevanz aufzugreifen.

Daher sind wir auf die Plastik-Verschmutzung der Meere gekommen“, so die Green Talents.

Im Rahmen der Designstudie „Concept Manta“ ist der futuristische Katamaran autonom unterwegs und navigiert sich GPS-gestützt zu den plastikführenden Meeresströmungen. Mit einer Art Rechen

fischt er das Plastiktreibgut aus dem Wasser, packt es in Endlossäcke und wirft diese dann samt Senderboje wieder ins Meer.

Vorbeifahrende Schiffe können die Säcke an Bord holen und in den nächsten Hafen mitnehmen. Der gesammelte Müll wird dann als wertvoller Rohstoff wiederverwertet und somit wirtschaftlich attraktiv. „Unser Konzept soll ganz einfach Anstoß sein, neue Wege zu gehen“, erklärt Alexander Reinalter.

SMART

PARKING Understand! Observe! Analyse!

After establishing a target group and profile of a persona we had to understand what makes them tick. Main objective was to optimise the mobility aspects of their everyday life.

MY PERSONAL APPROACH TO STRATEGIC DESIGN

‘‘ The target group unnecessarily loses time with looking for a parking lot from and to work everyday.
