Meet Michael Arens and David Constantine: Deploying Robot Vacuums that Don’t Suck | Wave Makers

This month on Wave Makers, host Tamara Kahn gets to speak with two young entrepreneurs who figured out that while they were passionate about tackling ocean plastics, they had to start by solving the issue a little upstream:  Michael Arens and David Constantine are two of the co-founders of Clean Earth Rovers, and they’ve developed a robot to help do that. This Blue tech startup is using their ‘Plastics Piranha’ to catch plastic and pollutants in harbors, marinas and other waterways BEFORE it gets to the open ocean.  Hear how the team discovered they could also use their invention to address issues like red tides and assist in water data collection. These two Wave Makers are humbly overcoming challenges that many tech startups face and making partners in cleanup and awareness along the way.
