Innovative solution to plastic waste pollution problem emerges locally
Business launches revolutionary eco-friendly pool floater
Addressing the pressing issue of plastic waste pollution, particularly stemming from the swimming pool industry, local resident and entrepreneur Suren Ramsamy has introduced a pioneering solution: the Eco Float. This innovation stands as a crucial remedy to the widespread problem of plastic waste inundating both land and sea, largely propagated by the ubiquitous disposable chlorine tablet floaters.
Research underscores the magnitude of the issue, revealing that disposable chlorine tablet floaters in SA alone contribute a staggering 24,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually. To contextualise, this volume equates to covering approximately 79 football fields each year with discarded plastic, requiring a daunting 151,515 empty floaters to blanket a single football field.
Motivated by a commitment to eco-conscious initiatives and environmental preservation, Ramsamy embarked on designing and fabricating the Eco Float. This premium-grade, refillable, reusable, and recyclable chlorine tablet floater not only offers a sleek aesthetic upgrade to swimming pools but also fulfills its intended purpose impeccably. Gone are the days of grappling with surplus bags of disposable floaters, unsure of disposal methods.
In tandem with the Eco Float, Ramsamy’s company, AQUASAFE (Aqua Eco Solutions), introduces a complementary product line: the four-in-one refill stabilised chlorine tablets, packaged in biodegradable materials. Embodying the ethos of sustainability, every product from AQUASAFE is meticulously crafted to reduce environmental impact.
Since its recent pre-launch a little more than a month ago, the Eco Float has garnered remarkable traction, resonating with conscientious consumers eager to make a tangible difference in environmental conservation. Ramsamy extends his gratitude to patrons who have embraced the Eco Float, underscoring their collective commitment to safeguarding our planet. If you own a swimming pool which uses the monthly disposable floater then you are contributor to pollution. So make the change and play your role in saving our planet.
