Developing and scaling technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.
Over ons
Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans – legacy plastic – isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated. The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, designs and develops advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic by means of ocean cleanup systems and river interception solutions.

Otters are returning to one of Malaysia’s most historically polluted waterways - Klang River. 🦦 🇲🇾 The return of otters may signal ecological recovery in Klang, thanks to the deployments of The Ocean Cleanup Interceptors and local cleanup efforts by initiatives like the Selangor Maritime Gateway . To date, Interceptors deployed in 2019 and 2021 have intercepted over 3 million kilograms of trash in the Klang River. Read more about this return: https://lnkd.in/ePFit9Fp

Exciting news: new river project location - Panama. 🇵🇦 The Ocean Cleanup has partnered with Marea Verde Panama to launch the Siete Cuencas Project (the Seven Basin Project) to reduce the waste that flows into the Bay of Panama through the capital's rivers. How? Through Interceptor deployment in seven basins, environmental education programs, and research initiatives, intercepting trash and promoting a cultural change in waste management. When? An interceptor will be installed in the city’s Río Abajo in the coming months, and future deployments are planned for the near future. Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/e8qShZGW

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest of the five floating ocean plastic accumulation zones in the world. What about the other four? Recently, The Ocean Cleanup research team embarked on an expedition aboard the Bark Europa, sailing through the South Pacific Garbage Patch to gain deeper insights into the pollution issues in this region. The data gathered offshore and in some of the world's most remote islands will help refine plastic pollution models and bring us one step closer to understanding and solving this critical environmental crisis.
