Plastic-i is Planetixx’s marine debris analytics service, accessible through the Planetixx Observatory platform. It leverages satellite data from multiple providers, analyzed by our AI algorithms, to detect and monitor coastal debris accumulations globally.

Plastic-i is designed primarily for cleanup operators, environmental organizations, and government departments aiming to enhance operational efficiency, identify debris hotspots, understand long-term trends, and evaluate the effectiveness of cleanup interventions.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Global Coverage: Plastic-i can analyze debris across coastlines of any size, providing scalable monitoring solutions.

• Temporal Analysis: Track debris flows over time to understand accumulation and dispersal patterns.

• Forecasting: Predict debris movement up to three days ahead, enabling proactive cleanup planning.

• Risk Mapping: Generate large-area risk maps highlighting frequent debris accumulation zones.

• Transparency: Compare AI detections directly with raw satellite imagery to validate findings.

Integration and Future Developments

Plastic-i integrates seamlessly with other Planetixx products, enhancing comprehensive coastal and marine monitoring.

Additionally, Planetixx is developing Riverwatch, a forthcoming product tailored to analyze plastic hotspots in rivers, guiding targeted interventions such as trash boom placement and providing continuous monitoring of cleanup efforts.
