The only car company that not only manufactures tank-built like cars but also cares for the environment. Good job volvo

[@-4subscriberswithahammerad521]

That looks freaky cool

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

Using plastic to combat plastic, seems counter productive. At first, I thought they were gonna use organic materials or minerals, not plastic. That being said, it's a really good idea. Though, best of things would be to not pollute in the first place.. but hey...

[@verde5268]

Bobbius Shadow I’m sure they made sure the plastic wouldn’t matter

[@loganx7571]

There’s no going back, and no stopping plastic pollution. The best we can do now is adapt

[@Alex632]

Well done Volvo and Australia.

[@captainsinclair7954]

Very important stuff

[@sketchyskies8531]

Interesting

[@woodwire7150]

Good Job Gaben!

[@overbergmountainfort6698]

This may be cool But the ultimate solution is for mankind to change the way he thinks and to stop pollution by himself. If he does that you won't need to have these clever gadgets.

[@kubamax9kubowski176]

Overberg Mountain fort Well, where taken the pollution (trash) and possibly make eco friendly stuff like this one in the video.

[@Alex632]

Western countries are doing their part to combat the pollution into waterways. The biggest polluters are Asia, South Asia and Africa.

[@overbergmountainfort6698]

@@Alex632 Yes I agree but let me give you a eg of what happened recently. Where I live = There was unrest and the people got unruly they set alight the mountains the fire spread to the 2 recycling stations burning everything to a crisp. This happened 2x Now the company has decided to no longer do any more recycling. . ...

[@kubamax9kubowski176]

yo Alex America is still a big contributer, and many EU countries.

[@MikeBurns-bi5xj]

I like to see plastic into sea walls to prevent erosion of coast lines

[@xo.9490]

the thing is, wouldn't it clog up?

[@verde5268]

It doesn’t actually filter out plastic it just provides homes for marine life that may filter out pollutants

[@fouilla5249]

[@Gerry_West]

Finally something is being done

[@Alisher_a_Liger]

[@crazyoldhead2455]

Mangrove trees aren't in every country, so no they shouldn't.

[@Lordxzamasu]

[@MarciusWhithood]

[@thefacebiters]

Wow, I wonder how long it will take for for things to get bad enough, for these things to be top stories?

[@SlackerU]

Ahh, now treeless seawalls don't need to be so environmentally useless.

[@hampostampo4387]
