Despite urgent calls, delegates left INC5.2 in Geneva without a plastic treaty to halt the flow of plastic into our environment. Despite urgent calls, delegates left INC5.2 without a plastic treaty to halt the flow of plastic into our environment.| The Ocean Cleanup
Marine plastic pollution is increasing in the world’s ocean, with the Indian Ocean understudied compared to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This study investigates plastic pollution in the Southwest Indian Ocean, focusing on a size range from large debris to microplastics (> 500 μm). Using visual surveys and manta trawling, we assessed plastic concentrations, compositions, and polymer types across 19 oceanographic campaigns. A total of 11,438 litter items were identified, with over 70% ...| The Ocean Cleanup

We are preparing for the transition from System 002 to System 03, which will serve as the blueprint for scale-up to full fleet in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.| The Ocean Cleanup
Today, we announced that System 001/B is successfully capturing and collecting plastic debris. After one year of testing, we have succeeded in developing a self-contained system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch that is using the natural forces of the ocean to passively catch and concentrate plastic, thereby confirming the most important principle behind the cleanup concept that was first presented by Boyan Slat at a TEDx conference in October 2012.| The Ocean Cleanup
By adopting the newly established standard from DNV, the material in The Ocean Cleanup products can be verified as material removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. With this chain of custody standard, we can confirm the origin of the plastic retrieved from any body of water. More specifically, in our case, this allows the plastic used in the products to have its origin and authenticity verified by an independent third party.| The Ocean Cleanup
The accumulation of plastic debris on land and coastlines and in waterways and garbage patches is one of the greatest ecological concerns of the 21st century. In that context, the sources and pathways of plastic marine debris (PMD) have been increasingly studied in the past ten years. The purpose of this communication was to analyze, thanks to the tracks of two drifting buoys released in May–June 2019 in the North-East Pacific, two features encountered within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch...| The Ocean Cleanup
Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of the world’s oceans. Here we characterize and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP).| The Ocean Cleanup

This week, we deployed System 03 in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for the first time. Nearly three times larger than our previous technology and capable of cleaning the area of a football field every five seconds, the arrival of System 03 marks a huge leap forward in our mission of ridding the oceans of plastic. We explain how System 03 works in ten questions.| The Ocean Cleanup
