Ocean Cleanup
The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization that is developing and scaling technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Their goal is to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution by 2040.
The organization's flagship project is the Ocean Cleanup System 002, which is a large floating barrier that uses the ocean's currents to collect plastic pollution. The system has been deployed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and it has already collected over 100,000 pounds of plastic.
The Ocean Cleanup is also working on a project to intercept plastic pollution in rivers before it reaches the ocean. They have developed a system called the Interceptor, which is a floating barrier that can be installed in rivers to collect plastic pollution. The Interceptors have been deployed in rivers in Indonesia, Guatemala, and the United States, and they have already collected over 1,000 tons of plastic.
The Ocean Cleanup is a promising organization that is making great strides in the fight against plastic pollution. Their work is essential to protecting our oceans and marine life.
Here are some additional details about the organization:
- The Ocean Cleanup was founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, a Dutch inventor.
- The organization is headquartered in the Netherlands, but it has teams working in over 20 countries.
- The Ocean Cleanup has raised over $300 million in funding.
