Clean Up Our Oceans!

OVER 5 TRILLION PIECES OF PLASTIC CURRENTLY LITTER THE OCEAN

Trash accumulates in 5 ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Solving it requires a combination of closing the source and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean.

The Ocean Cleanup develops technology to rid the world's oceans
of plastic. A full-scale deployment of our systems is estimated to
clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.
