MISSION 

The purpose of FLOWS (Floating Litter Optimized Waste System) is to create a sustainable floating waste collection system that minimizes water pollution, guards aquatic habitats, and helps communities in managing cleaner and safer waterways. It aims to build a sustainable future where rivers, lakes, and other water bodies are free from floating rubbish and promoted to be healthier ecosystems, safer communities, and a cleaner environment for future generations.


VISION

Flows protects the environment by removing floating waste from waterways before it can harm ecosystems or spread pollution, helping to prevent contamination of bodies of water and protecting aquatic plants and animals that depend on clean water to survive. Our project Flows is a solar-powered floating waste collector designed to gather debris in waterways using a lifebuoy-supported frame, solar panel, and dual motors for mobility. Furthermore, Flows is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and designed to demonstrate the practical use of renewable energy in addressing pollution.

GOALS

Welcome to FLOWS, a community built on the belief that small conversations can lead to big changes โ€” especially when it comes to protecting our waterways. Weโ€™re here to share ideas, listen to one another, and work together to reduce water pollution for a cleaner, safer environment.Our goal is to make this space open, inclusive, and inspiring for everyone who cares about rivers, oceans, and the communities that depend on them. Whether youโ€™re here to learn, contribute, or start a discussion, we ask that you help us keep this space respectful and meaningful by following a few simple rules
