Description:
In August 2022, Meijer deployed the BeBot and Pixie Drone to clean up beaches and waterways as part of the ongoing Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup Program.
BeBot is a remote-controlled beach-cleaning robot that rakes through sand to collect plastic litter and other waste. Pixie Drone is a remote-controlled water drone that navigates busy marinas and waterways to collect plastic litter. The drone also collects water data, like temperature, pH, salinity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen.
