The nonprofit global cleaning crew called The Ocean Cleanup, led by founder and CEO Boyan Slat, announced recently that it had reached viability of its ocean plastic-collecting System 002 technology and plans to begin cleaning plastic pollution in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch immediately while beginning development of System 003.

Unbelievable the ammount of junk in the water😢
👍 We can make plastic boulders out of this plastic trash for building ocean walls also.
Thank you,people who is getting that trash out of our ocean.
great job👍👍
MARAVILHOSO!
I am profoundly pleased that someone is doing a job that desperately needs to be done. If the ecology of the ocean fails, all humans are dead. At this point, according to Nt. Geographic, we have fished out 85% of all edible fish. Alarming.
Its mindblowing how much plastic.
It’s going to end up back in the ocean once you recycle it because people don’t care about it
Thank God! There are people like you out there🎉
We must produce way less non-biodegradable waste in the first place. This is something governments can do by simply bringing policies aimed at cutting waste.
Ok.…..that is a lot more laundry baskets and boxes than i suspected. People don’t just toss those if they are intact. How much of the garbage patch is, like, tsunami debris?
Yes clean up from Pacificocean then dump those in soil or in another ocean
Very gooooood guyssss 💥💥💥💥
Suprb job man
7:40 this is amazing. Thankyou to you all. (From Australia)😃
I am happy to see this is being done, thank you.
Are they still doing it, still cleaning the ocean .…. .….…
A beautiful human being… Thank you❤
It’s better the big firms which are big polluters like Pepsi and coke should contribute more to such NGOs
Far too many plastics being made!! Although many polymers are not re-usable, they could all be collectively melted into a final useful shape, yes?
Good luck to these people with my sincerely respect.
As a pacific islander i must say that western countries(Europe & America) introduced so many things & did not show us how to get rid of.
Hey friends ! Let’s take a ride in my 🌊 ocean . We are from Bridgeport Connecticut. 😊
Wow! Oh my goodness I can’t believe this that much junk at the bottom of the ocean or somewhere that’s great you’re doing that I think that’s absolutely awesome! 😊
Any update on this?
1:24 Lo siento, wilson
Giant scam based on lies!
Recycled into bright blue plastic! Absolutely didn’t happen.
Lies
What abouat law. Where every one of transatlantic/ transpacific cargo ships must use this equipment.
Check out everawave. We are cleaning up waterways world wide that waste and plastic will not enter the ocean. 🌊
Stop making stuff out of it . Make houses from it . Not to be mean but stuff is such a throw away action)
This is way overdue.
whos dumping all this? i know the former Phillipines president called out Canada i believe it was for dumping trash.. possibility in trenches
Clean the rivers in India, Africa, and Asian countries before the garbage flows into the ocean and we would probably see a 80–90% decrease in all that pollution. I’m almost sure some of those places use the rivers as landfills and letting floods, high waters wash it away. A lot of those water ways are so nasty looking 🤢 🤮
GOD BLESS
I never litter. And haven ever put trash in the ocean. We’re is it come from . As a little kid my mom told me no so I don’t. I’m so sad .
I want to join and made a difference
Are these guys cancelled yet?? Like mr beast giving eyesight and water to people? F these people , they are doing it for internet likes and money.
Every corporation should be taxed for this.
Imagine someone wearing those glasses on a cruise and than accidentally dropped it back into the ocean again
👏🧠
Really nice. Just one problem: this does not change ANYTHING. Compared to the ocean’s scale and the garbage already dumped in it, this achieves nothing. It’s like using a teaspoon to gather sand on a beach. Not only is it even more useless, considering that the amount of garbage dumped in the ocean is way more than this thing can collect, but it also takes people’s money and uses a lot of fuel to run, achieving basically nothing. Maybe use that money and manpower to resolve the problem at its root? Sorry, guys, but it’s like seeing a tanker leaking oil and a guy with a spoon trying to collect it. Perhaps, first, try to seal the leak? Just my two cents.
Tax the countries tossing their garbage in rivers that end up in the ocean
It comes down to money and power of governments who really don’t care. It’s sad
Why am I getting bombed by these documentary videos all of a sudden?
What about the fish trapped inside?
This is a fantastic idea.… How do I get involved in Florida?
I thought they were talking about UK
I find it strange that in the 80s, two containers fell off a ship and broke open, releasing 80 tons of rubber duckies into the northern Pacific. Scientists spent 2 years tracking them as they drifted apart and actually mapped all of the ocean currents around the world. So, who has been keeping these plastics in 1 spot. Why haven’t the natural enzymes in the ocean eaten all of the plastic like they did the rubber duckies In 4 years?
Thanks bro for this huge contribution to tackle the pollution.
It’s from India 🇮🇳.
