We are excited to share that over 100,000 kg of plastic has been removed form the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, thanks to @theoceancleanup The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world, located between Hawaii and California. @Theoceancleanup is developing and scaling technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastics. Their plastic collecting innovation System 002 has now collected 101,353 kg of plastic over 45 extractions, sweeping an area of ocean comparable to the size Rhode Island. Next, System 03 is expected to capture plastic at a rate potentially 10 times higher, due to its size, efficiency and improved uptime.
