The Ocean Cleanup

The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing plastic pollution in the oceans. Founded by Dutch inventor Boyan Slat, it designs advanced systems to collect plastic debris from the water. Their primary focus is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive area of floating plastic waste. The organization uses floating barriers and nets to capture and concentrate plastic, which is then removed for recycling. By raising awareness and developing innovative technology, The Ocean Cleanup aims to restore ocean health and minimize the impact of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems.
