Apovlita is committed to conserving the environment by innovating low-tech
solutions for issues regarding climate change. With its six years in business,
Apovlita has become the first private company to win the Makakalikasan Award
for three consecutive years. It also launched thousands of combined projects
and summits in different communities to promote its primary goal, which is to
innovate for the benefit of nature.
“
The greatest thing you can do with your life is to protect the environment in a
way that is not bound by your ability to innovate.”
Apovlita has won numerous awards in its six years in the industry. It is
because of its mission and vision which always steer the company toward
its intended course.
O N E W I T H T H E R I V E R | Pa g e 1
Apovlita’s Goal is to increase sustainability through innovation and creativity.
It consists of a vector of a boat and a wave with the company tagline and name
of Apovlita. The wave represents the river as the company was originally founded
to save rivers from industrial wastes and oil leakage. The boat on the other hand
represents both marine and human life. It also represents the mission and vision
of the company which always steer it toward its intended course. The word
Apovlita as well as the tagline represent the company itself.
Note:
The color of the logo may vary depending on its usage.

Apovlita was founded in April 2023 with its original mission to save rivers from
threats of river pollution due to improper waste disposal and oil leakage. The
founder and acting Chief executive Officer of the company has seen the effects
of these two major factors as she is also a resident of community not far from
river and ocean. She then made a promise to herself to start innovating
solutions that will lessen the effects of said factors.
Five months after the its inception, Apovlita started fulfilling its mission. Project
Aplaya was launched that aims to clean the shores of beaches in Cagayan, the
province where the company was born. It was attended by different local officers
and investors which gave the company an opportunity to gain almost 30
investors in just a single day.
In 2028, Apovlita made another history after recording a 4 Million Gross Profit,
its highest gross profit for the past three years. This paved way to launching
another project called Punla that aims to help the farmers by donating seeds and
sprouts worth 500 million to different farmers all throughout the country.
Today, Apovlita is still on its mission to create a greener environment for the
future generations to come.
O N E W I T H T H E R I V E R | Pa g e 3
Our environment is considered the home of life. It is not our choice but
our responsibility to save and protect it from the cruelty of humanity.
Apovlita, on the other hand, is motivated by its mission to innovate for the
benefit of nature. It is guided by a dedicated and experienced team of
engineers passionately working to find solutions to different
environmental problems.

Innovating for the benefit of nature is not a complex thing to do in the
technological industry. It has become the signature of emerging corporations in
other countries. But despite of its incomplexity, it is very crucial to solving
environmental issues. In the Philippines alone, statistics recorded that the
environmental degradation or the effect of climate change is continuously rising.
Imagine having the ability to reduce these staggering data of destruction, would
you rather keep it, or use it to comply with your moral responsibility of
protecting the environment?
Many companies and corporations had already started innovating products with
the same primary goal. In fact, there are some technologies that are already
doing their purpose of saving the environment. In the Philippines however, only
students who are required to do projects with similar technological aspect are
doing the moves. Thus, making it a good market opportunity for company like
Apovlita.
Statistics say that out of 421 rivers in the Philippines 50 are already
severely polluted and 16 recorded as biologically dead. That is why it has
come into our attention and made us think and create what we called as
the Trashboat.
O N E W I T H T H E R I V E R | Pa g e 7
Apovlita is a private company that innovates technological products that are
beneficial to environment and human life. These products are manufactured to
give the best comfort and serve its common purpose.

Trashboat is a boat-like model made from recycled plastic bottles. It has a net on
its front part and is powered by a motor on its back. Its primary goal is to collect
plastic wastes from rivers to reduce the severity of river pollution.

1. Trashboat Wheel – it harnesses the river current to turn the conveyor belt.
2. Conveyor Belt – it lifts the river wastes and debris.
3. Dumpster Barge – it stores the collected trash and debris.
4. Trash Barrier – it contains the collected trash and prevents it from falling.
5. Control Rod – are rods made of circular lumber which are connected to the
wheels and the conveyor belt.
6. Lumber Framing – it serves as the skeletal system of the product which
strengthens the dumpster barge.
7. Plastic Bottles – it keeps the trashboat floating in the surface of the water.
8. Ropes – it holds the trashboat from the strong current of the river

1. Size: 2.00 meters wide and 4 meters long.
2. It is made up of recycled plastic bottles and locally-produced materials. Plastic
bottles can almost be found everywhere, thus making the product easy to
operate and maintain. Instead of throwing these non-biodegradable wastes
which add ups to the escalating issues regarding climate change, Apovlita is
turning it into a hero that saves the environment.
3. It reduces time and effort. Instead of consuming so much time and effort by
manually cleaning the rivers, trashboat do the works for you. Just let it
harness the river current to collect the wastes and debris and all you need
to do is wait for the dumpster barge to be full, and your only duty is to
empty it.
4. It costs cheaper. Trashboat helps you save money. Instead of spending too
much for annual clean up drives, just use trashboat and save almost 70%
due to its three years scrapped value.
1. It has a simpler look than other products. The look of the product makes you
think that it is not complicated and is easy to understand.
2. It has its own dumpster barge where collected wastes go. Unlike other
products in the market, Apovlita’s trashboat is equipped with its own
dumpster barge making it easy to collect the wastes.
3. It is more sustainable. Since it only uses the river current, there is no need to
worry about carbon emissions like motors generate.
4. It can be placed wherever in the river you want to place it. Since there is a
rope that prevents it from going with the flow of water, you can place it
wherever you want, just make sure that it faces against the direction of the
river current, and it would still work.
5. It is more convenient to use. Considering the price and its key features, it is
convenient to use than expend huge amount of cash for clean-up-drives.
6. It is strong and durable. Since the materials used are locally-made, you have
the idea of its quality. Apovlita always make sure that their product is strong
and durable that it will last three to five years.

Clearwater Mills LLC. was founded in 2007 with the
ambitious goal of stemming the flow of trash into
Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Its founder, John Kellett,
worked on the harbor for twenty years where he was
confronted on a daily basis with the negative impact the
pollution was having on Baltimore’s biggest attraction.
He studied the problem, researched the systems available
on the market and finding nothing adequate he was
inspired to invent a system for tackling it.
