01
Observe the source
Record pollutant type, location, date, sampling method and uncertainty. Distinguish a confirmed observation from a suspected source.
HAPPY ORBIS CLEAN
Stop pollution where it matters.
A research framework for understanding pollution pathways and identifying where intervention could be most useful.
02
Understand the journey
Transport depends on currents, wind, particle properties, waves and coastlines. A credible drift model needs real forcing data and validation.
03
Evaluate interception
Compare ecological sensitivity, access, likely capture efficiency and total operating costs. Avoid treating recovered mass as the only measure of success.
04
Verify the outcome
Document a baseline, intervention, recovered material, disposal pathway and independent evidence. No cleanup results have been registered yet.
