MiniFinder protects the environment

Researchers from Finland have used the MiniFinder GPS tracker together with the MiniFinder GO tracking system to track the movement of rubbish in the river.

Three researchers from Finland have used a GPS tracker from MiniFinder to investigate how quickly rubbish thrown into the river is moved to the Baltic Sea. They wanted to test whether the transport of garbage in water could be monitored with the help of satellite searchers by placing GPS trackers in plastic containers.

According to the researchers, small plastic packaging such as snack packaging as well as beverage bottles and jars are the most common rubbish that ends up in rivers. Among other things, the project has contributed to increasing awareness of the need to protect local rivers and the Baltic Sea.
