Volvo builds a sustainable sea wall to fight plastic pollution

The video discusses a collaborative project by the Institute of Marine Science and Reef Design Lab to create a living seawall in Sydney Harbor. The seawall will consist of 50 3D printed tiles reinforced with recycled plastic fibers, designed to mimic mangrove root structures. These tiles aim to restore marine habitats lost to artificial coastlines. According to Volvo, the seawall will attract filter-feeding organisms to help absorb and filter pollutants. The living seawall will be installed on the existing seawall structure, providing ecological benefits to the harbor.
