In order to present our Blue Barriers we decided to complete a test in a river in the north of Italy. This was the first time the Barriers have been installed in full scale in a river. The results of the collections have been amazingly encouraging, the structure behaved as planned and no issue occurred. More than 30 objects of plastics were collected. The test represented great success and a fundamental milestone toward the solutions of the issue.
