CHAPTER 2

Foreign Literature
The purpose of this article is to analyze, assess, and investigate the primary cause of plastic
pollution, which is probably the most significant and infamous issue affecting the entire
world. It also shows our platform's design, which aims at minimizing the problem of floating
trash. As noted by Othman et al. (2020) about 2 million plastic tons are thrown into bodies
of water each year, where they eventually washed away toward the ocean. Some marine
animals die right away after consuming plastic, but not all living marine creatures are targets
or carriers of dangerous diseases. There are several known negative impacts of plastic
pollution on the environment and society. The methodology, a classification of waste
cleaning methods, and the initiatives taken to solve this issue will all be covered in this
paper.

According to (Nurlansa et al., 2014) the goal if this research is to build ana Automated
Garbage Collector, a robot with rotors designed as automatic trash collector to prevent
waste from stacking up in the river, which is not properly or efficiently. Design and building
the implementation strategy. Thes approach consists of needs analysis, component analysis,
engineering, developing, and testing for both software and hardware.

Using ultrasonic sensors in floating water waste collection system can help to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the collection process by allowing the system to detect and track
debris in real-time, and to respond quickly to changing conditions ine the water. However it is
important note the ultrasonic sensors may not be able to detect all types of floating debris, and
they may be affected by factors such as water temperature and turbidity. As such it may be
necessary to use multiple sensors or other types of sensors in order to ensure comprehensive
coverage and accurate direction. (Patil et al., 2023)

Local Literature
Aguinaldo et al. (2021) Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that an
automated plastic collector is effective in segregating school plastic waste, while an
improvised pyrolysis system shows a promising result in the conversion of school plastic
waste into useful oil. Also, it is recommended that the modification of the low-cost pyrolysis
chamber used in this research will be done. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
(GCMS) testing is also recommended to identify the chemical properties of the yielded oil in
the pyrolysis.

The main objective of this project is to create an accurate scale prototype of a trash
collector and compactor for solid wastes that effectively keep things clean and prevent
floods
(Cruz et al., 2023). It is going to be an extra way to cut down on cleaning by hand and the
traditional method of capturing floating solid garbage with nets, which involves people
collecting trash on canals. In order to determine the ideal features, those who support them
have taken into account a variety of variables and possibilities. and the most practical and
sane design choice.
Foreign Studies
This study shows the results of a prototype water garbage collector that can collect garbage
on the water's surface, floating, and get partially submerged in the water. It has been
proven through multiple trial configurations that using the MIT smartphone application,
remote navigation control of the water waste collector's forward, backward, and left and
right turns it is possible (Kamarudin, Nordin, Misman, et al., 2021).
