The Ocean Cleanup is designing and building a passive cleanup technology for the offshore environment, The Ocean Cleanup approach: focus, fail, and forbearthe subtropical gyres, the places in the oceans where vast amounts of plastic accumulate and persist.
Plastic in the gyres is slowly degrading into smaller pieces and hence poses immense risks for marine life, human life, and economies worldwide. Thus, our mission: develop advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of this plastic. Nothing like this has ever been done before, as this endeavour isn’t easy.
The problem of ocean plastic pollution is inherently complex. From the causes and sources to the intrinsic combination of oceanography, hydrodynamics, meteorology, and physics that must be considered when designing structures for the ocean.
