Ocean garbage is globally a serious problem. 88%~95% of the ocean garbage is coming from the 10 rivers of Asia and Africa. The Mekong River is a transboundary river originating from China, passing through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia and finally through Vietnam to the sea. Vietnam is the last stand of floating garbage from six countries before it goes to sea. However, The Vietnamese dumped garbage into the Mekong River and believed that the river becomes clean soon because it flows fast into the sea. We decided to design a product to solve this problem. There are many designs in the world that pursue beauty, but we wanted to design to make the world a better place, not for exhibition, but for a design that could change people's behavior into the daily lives of Vietnamese people.
To collect floating garbage from the Mekong River in Vietnam, which is about to flow into the sea, we built a Solar Boat with Hanwha's photovoltaic solution technology. Also, the key strategy in designing clean-up Mekong campaign and implementing them was to "find the ultimate eco-friendly way." The majority of environmental campaigns to protect the planet err on the other side inadvertently pollute the planet. It is a mistake of the organization to carry out clean-up activities in which the ship of the group for the environmental movement runs the fossil fuel, discharges oil residue in the sea, emits carbon into the air, or collects garbage by using disposable products. Under this strategy, solar boat does not use just 1 gram of fossil fuel. Instead, only solar energy operates the boat and runs the conveyor belt to collect floating garbage. As a result, it emits nothing harm to the earth.
1) August 2018~May 2019: Solar boat design/production/trial A high performed Hanwha Q CELLS' Q.PEAK DUO solar modules were built with a total 6.45mX2.3mX2.6m boat and a maximum output of 4.4kW to collect garbage along the Mekong River 2) January~May 2019: Solar Hero Character Development Collecting garbage is also important, but raising the environmental awareness of people is essential to solving fundamental problems. We develop a character called “Solar Hero” to approach friendly for Vietnamese people and to be recognized as a character to save the Mekong by using solar energy. This character has been used throughout the design of the boat's exterior, digital campaigns and events. 3) May~June 2019: Execution of digital Campaign to raises public awareness on environment and expectations for solar boat. 4) June 2019~present: We donated two solar boats on the world environment day and they are running to collect the garbage.
- From the donation of solar boat to the present, we have collected a lot of floating garbage contributing to solving the environmental problems of the Mekong River and ocean garbage. It also reminds residents of the Mekong River area of the importance of the environment. - Through the digital campaign and film, we achieved 23 million Impressions, 10 million views, and more than 80,000 reactions (total interaction including like, comment, share). It is particularly encouraging that this campaign has led to an active debate on environmental issues, renewable energy, and especially advantage of solar energy among Vietnamese netizens. - With the disclosure of the Vietnamese press (more than 38 cases) and the global press (more than 92 cases), it has attracted not only Vietnam but also the world. - Vietnam’s other provinces and other countries request the Hanwha solar boat.
