The Ocean Cleanup team has developed a passive clean up method, which uses the natural oceanic forces to rapidly and cost-effectively clean up the plastic already in the oceans. With a full fleet of cleanup systems in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, The Ocean Cleanup aim to clean up 50% of its plastic every five years.
This brand new video gives us a great insight to the project, and we see the very first plastic catch take place back in 2019. Amazing work by the team at The Ocean Cleanup!
