Proposed is a microplastic collection device utilizing a cyclone The device may include a cylindrical barrel part accommodating a first suction fan and a first suction fan drive at an upper end thereof, and a microplastic suction pipe installed at an interior center of the barrel part to communicate with the first suction fan and configured to suck in microplastics. The device may also include a suction pipe spaced at a predetermined distance from the upper end of the barrel part, coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the barrel part to communicate with an interior of the barrel part, and configured to suck in external particles. The device may further include a microplastic capture pipe coupled to an upper end outer circumferential surface of the barrel part that surrounds the suction pipe. The device can effectively collect microplastics on seashores and separate them from nature.
