MANTA
'MANTA' is Bodyboard concept design for ocean clean-up from micro plastic project.
How Industrial, Product Designers Can Help Keep Plastic Out of the Ocean? Plastic waste at sea level is torn into small pieces over a long period of time by the sun and waves. Currently, small pieces of plastic have exist every corner of our lives, including bottled water, and tap water. Unlike the existing ocean campaign, 'MANTA' is a campaign-oriented product design that collects micro Plastics in marine sports. Naturally, it was inspired by the gills of Manta Ray, which hunt fine plankton with natural filters, and was modernized in the structure and inserted in the 'MANTA'. Have a rental system in 'Manta', so more people join the campaign.
