How System 03 Cleans the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The fundamental challenge of cleaning up the ocean garbage patches is that the plastic pollution is highly diluted, spanning millions of square kilometers. Our cleanup solution is designed to first concentrate the plastic, allowing us to effectively collect and remove vast quantities. This is how it works.

And follow The Ocean Cleanup on:

This important project and all the people who are working on it deserve enormous support. It's sure that future generations who look at the good you have done for our planet will be grateful

The future is brighter thanks to people like you. Oh and to people reading this, consider starting a permaculture on your property. Cleaning plastic in the ocean is just one step, we have to do our part as well.

Edit : What is a permaculture? A permaculture is creating a forest on your property, but a forest designed to produce food, medicine, to attract thousands of beneficial insects and improve soil health in the process. The concept of permaculture is to create a loop system, to be as eco-friendly as humanly possible, generating no waste product whatsoever and not using any kind of chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides, etc. Every serious permaculture also have homemade compost station and few chickens, for eggs and compost material.

There are many branches to permaculture, some permacultures are very tidy and looks more like a big garden, while others have a much wilder approach, where its literally a dense jungle of medicine, food and flowers : it is known as a food forest. Some permacultures are extremely strict with only planting native species, while others go with Hybrids for specific berries, fruits, veggies, nuts, herbs etc...

But I must warn you, its insanely addictive once you start a project like this, it might literally change your life. It completely fixed my depression problems, and just this summer I lost 20 pounds cuz I ate so healthy, my own organic food... and worked on my little property everyday having fun. You really don't need to be on a farm to start a project like this btw.

Keep improving. Keep getting better. Keep up the great work!!

[earthwormjum]

I love how you are constantly re-evaluating and recalibrating the system so that it is more efficient. And what's amazing is there never seems to be any bycatch (marine life) caught in the nets!
Keep on doing amazing, incredible work. 💪 🐟 💚

[mjallenuk]

Just wonderful to see it being taken out and dealt with correctly. If only this had been done at the source with better practices in place...

[JosephFOCHESATO]

I think that your system for river seems more efficient than the one to catch the garbage back in the ocean. But it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do both! Thank you for your work and keep going!

You guys and gals have been doing an awesome job for no monetary gains.. You will be rewarded with a future for your great grand kids.. Great job..

[TakingtheTRASHOUTwithAaron]

Thank you for making this quick tutorial. The work you guys are doing is amazing! On a side note: The plastics you are dragging in are quite different than the plastics I pluck out of the inland environment and the coastline. The migration of different plastics is very interesting. ❤

[Diwakarc]

Everyone who is a plastic consumer should pitch in for projects like this. Saving the world is everyone’s responsibility. Great work guys! Our future generations will thank you. I will try to stop plastics as much as possible hereon. If I can’t be a part of the solution, I will try to be not a part of the problem.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this work. It's a tragedy that it's needed, but I'm so gratified there are humans who are willing to do this extraordinary work to try and mitigate the damage the rest of us are doing every day.

Great video, however you guys always cut the video right after the sortinf phase, its would be great to see how you guys deal with the waste after sorting... do you send it back to a landfill? Do you have a possessing plant or are you teaming up with another company that deals with that side of the project
