The 12-year-old genius invented a plastic waste filter in the ocean

Deeply aware of the impact of the ocean plastic waste crisis, the boy prodigy Haaziq Kazi (12 years old, from Pune, India) invented a machine capable of eliminating Plastic waste out of the ocean environment.

While most 12-year-olds are still engrossed in comic books, cartoons or video games and are utterly uneasy about global issues, Kazi has been hurt about How to make the next generation not live in an environment filled with waste plastic.


Haaziq Kazi prodigy shared about his invention of ocean protection.

'I watched some documentaries and realized that waste is bad for marine life. I feel I have to do something. The fish that we eat every day are eating plastic in the ocean so the pollution cycle has come to us and this even has a lasting impact on people's lives. Therefore, he came up with an ERVIS solution , ' Kazi said.

Explaining his ERVIS invention, Kazi said: 'The plates use centripetal force to absorb waste, then it conducts separation of water, marine life and waste. Sea creatures and water will be brought back to the ocean, while waste will be trapped and further separated into five more parts. '

Not only stopping at child drawings, Kazi conducted his inventions and introduced it, analyzing it in Mumbai's TEDxGateway program last year.

Only 12 years old but Kazi confidently introduced ERVIS solution to remove ocean plastic waste in the famous TEDxGateway program.

In his speech, Kazi revealed, the physical idea behind the ERVIS invention came from hand washing. Kazi's mother once said the boy needed to wash his hands before eating and when he left the toilet with a clean hand, the idea of ​​ERVIS turned up in the genius of the genius.

Kazi claims to have built and tested the first ERVIS prototype in his bath. Although it only works for 7 seconds before it fails, it has shown the expected effect.

Kazi's research on removing plastic waste in the ocean has attracted many international organizations and scientists.

Kazi's very convincing and confident speech at TEDxGateway attracted the attention of international organizations and scholars. However, Kazi said the project is still in its infancy. This is still only the first stage. His work needs to go through many stages and experiment with a considerable source of finance before a fully functional ERVIS appears in the oceans.

Kazi insists that the boy will still follow the invention of ERVIS to silently drain the human plastic waste from 'mother nature'.

In the fight against this plastic waste crisis, we can all contribute in part to consuming and handling plastic waste in a more responsible way.

  1. How long does it take for plastic waste to decompose?
  2. Are we eating plastic waste daily?
