How System 03 Cleans the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- 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.

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
Have you donated $$ to the organization? I have.
Support legislation to tax petrochemical company’s raw virgin plastic to pay for this system and ten more in perpetuity.
Taking trash out the ocean while dumping emissions from the boats into the air 😅
tax the plastic manufacturers.
@@fires5490 And what solution do you propose? How would you implement it? Do you have an alternative or just a "😅" emoji?
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.
Learn about companion planting! It makes things easier to grow!
you should explain what a permaculture is
@@rocketeer6713 Thank you, I added my definition of it.
“Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system.” - Bill Mollison@@rocketeer6713
Cool. You gonna loan the money to buy the property to do this? Because I’m 35 years old, work two jobs, and hardly have enough money to pay my rent…..
Ocean Cleanup should get a Nobel Prize for the systems they developed, the purpose the sustainability and the work they put in. 🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
There should be a separate Nobel category for protecting the environment.
Propose them. Nothing lost. They are doing a lot more than the Swedish Gremlin.
YES YES YES - in ALL categories: peace. Chemistry. Physics. Medicine and economics!
@@joshf-o6696😅
As long as Ocean Cleanup posts videos, I will be here to like and share them!
Me too. We team up
They clean up
The amount of plastic & rubbish you have cleaned out of the ocean is mind blowing, Thank you for all you do.
No. What is really mind blowing is just how much plastic is IN the ocean.
No, it is not at all. Just compare it with the amount of plastic they take out with passive systems from rivers. These take about 50 times as much without running 2 ships and crews.
@@oneworld1160need both the systems in the river (and we need much more of them) and the ship on the sea (and we need much more of them)… and we need first to use less plastic, and dump less into the rivers…
Two vessels operated by The Ocean Cleanup, for example, release 600 metric tons of carbon dioxide for a month of cleanup, according to the nonprofit - equivalent to about 130 cars on the road for a year
@@keithb6717 I don't understand why people even reply and tell me what it takes when I already know what it takes through research.
Keep improving. Keep getting better. Keep up the great work!!
Josh is doing a great job as do all of you: The Ocean Cleanup Team, Maersk, KIA and all those who make this possible! A big THANK YOU ❤👍
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. ❤
What's the difference?
I've occasionally been picking up trash out of my town's local rivers and it usually looks the same as what I see in these videos
@@noodlenate The difference I notice is: A majority of trash The Ocean Cleanup is pulling out Pacific Garbage Patch seems to be more marine debris related than your average Liquor Store debris you find on the city streets that find their way into our waterways and eventually into the ocean.
I admit I am not an expert but I used to be under the impression that the Pacific Garbage Patch was mostly city based debris/plastics.
Thank you for plucking trash out of your river!!
Every single plastic production company should be mandated to man several of these ships at their expense
As well as oil companies.
And major fishing companies
Most valuable youtube channel.
Couldn’t agree more
Maybe competing for the number 1 spot with Ocean Conservation Namibia.... check them out if you haven't already.
@@freudsigmund72 good shout! Thanks
Respect to TEAM MEMBERS THE OCEAN CLEAN UP ! pray humans get some sense and they quit on plastics
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...
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
A couple years ago, TOC started offering some online merch made with recycled plastic from their clean-ups, though I'm pretty sure that's primarily a PR/awareness thing since it looks like they get a lot of their funding from partnering with local government agencies. I've read that UV exposure significantly degrades the performance of materials recycled into next-generation products, meaning a lot of the older plastic fished out of the ocean (stuff that's years to decades old) would be even worse to recycle and repurpose than normal recyclable plastic materials.
I'm just a guy who reads stuff on the Internet, but I would guess TOC has negotiated strategic partnerships with companies that will buy certain sorted plastics off of TOC by the ton. I've seen secondary material pricing anywhere from $30 to $200 per ton. It just wouldn't be cost effective for a non-profit with core competencies in cleaning plastic trash out of waterways to operate its own processing plant. Much more affordable to outsource that to a company specializing in it that can achieve better economies of scale. Plastic recycling is pretty low value per unit weight, meaning you have to go big to not go broke running it.
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. 💪 🐟 💚
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!
It looks like sorting plastics onboard can become a bottleneck soon, is it so? Is there a plan for system 4?
More people needs to see this. Youe job is just amazing❤
It's mind-blowing. Thank you for all the people what work on this project ❤
The fishing industry should pay for this!
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..
TOC is a nonprofit, but their staff and workers have to make a living -- they aren't doing this for free. They probably get their funding through various methods similar to other nonprofits -- government partnerships (i.e. each Interceptor deployment is paid for by the city government that hosts the Interceptor in its local waterway), supporter donations, etc. At this scale, I guarantee their full-time staff are all paid. Something this size can't run purely on volunteer effort. Though yes, no monetary gains in the sense of a for-profit business.
@@dakaodo yes, that what I meant, they are all paid workers, but the company itself gains no profits from their chivalrous commitments..
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.
~Trav
let's all donate to ocean cleanup ,they do the job for all of us !
I always look out for your videos. I love to see your progress and it makes me feel good knowing that there are big loads of plastic leaving the ocean thanks to your hard work and dedication. THANK YOU !!!!

@@keithb6717Irrelevant.
@@morningrosie3684
They only collected 45 tons of garbage.
Are you familiar with math?
Do you think releasing 600 tons of carbon dioxide is good or bad for the environment? (Especially because it’s just for virtue Signaling)
@@keithb6717 “Only 45 tons”
You act as if that’s a small number. I’m less concerned about CO2 from two boats than I am about a giant garbage patch.
@@morningrosie3684
45 is small compared to 600.
Unless you’re a democrat, I guess.
Go, Josh, Go. Thank you, The Ocean Cleanup Crews.
Thank you so much for what you and your team are doing!
We need this operation all over the world. Thank You
Very good project , thank you for your work , let’s make our planet better place
Love these updates! Would really love longer videos though. :(
These video’s are my absolute highlight of the week! I love this 🙌🙌
THANK YIU BOYAN AN ALL STAFF AT OCEAN CLEAN UP...YOUR OUR HEROS OF THE WORLD....GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND PROUD TO BE SPONSOR FOR OCEAN CLEAN UP...THX
Really good and informative video. Always wondered about fish etc getting trapped, now I know it’s monitored.
Yea me too...like the turtles
You can Google some of the initial criticisms and concerns people had about this, years ago. TOC commissioned a study on environmental impact to assess ecosystem risks from their projects, I think it was. It's been a while since I read it. But yeah, they appear to have 1) included staff/observers specifically tasked to monitor sea life impact, and 2) built in mechanisms to mitigate that impact, like towing the net at a slow enough speed that fish can easily swim away from the trash in the collection net, larger openings for larger sea life to dip out through the bottom (b/c plastic floats to the top), etc.
Another great addition to the Cleanup GO JOSH! Keep up the fantastic work you guys we are so proud and grateful for your time and effort 😊❤
Thank you for caring enough to do this. It is one of the most important things that need to be addressed.
These guys should have medals.
This is great to see that Josh is working well for the first few weeks in the water. I love to see all that plastic coming onboard the boat. I have been curious have you been able to determine how old some of the plastic is that you are recovering is? Is it 20 years old or older, or relatively more resent stuff you are getting? How long before you will be able to deploy a second system either to GPGP or to one of the other garbage patches around the world? I have been following Boyan since his Ted Talk years ago and thought this was a great idea, I am so happy to see it become a reality. Good luck with the future of this and congratulations on helping to improve our planet.
Keep it up guys. We owe you the ocean.
WOW indeed, what a catch ! Magnificent. Thanks all Ladies and Gents involved in this, what a great Job all of you do !!!!!
Longer videos please. It is so interesting to see the process of recovering the plastic from the ocean and the work everyone is doing.
Looking absolutely incredible (not sure what is real and cgi as they both look so pristine). I sincerely hope you will more funding in the coming months to scale this solution to 10 pairs of vessels instead of the one. Thank you to Maersk, Kia and many others.
PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Nestle, Unilever, Procter&Gamble..... I wish you would contribute to this project, it cannot be the sole responsibility of consumers in developing countries to cleanup waste created (at least partly) by your plastic products (no matter how delicious their contents might be).
Two vessels operated by The Ocean Cleanup, for example, release 600 metric tons of carbon dioxide for a month of cleanup, according to the nonprofit - equivalent to about 130 cars on the road for a year.
Far more tons than plastic collected.
@@keithb6717 That's a good thing, we want more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is food for all plants on the planet and if there's too little of it, everything will die.
Josh is my celebrity crush 🖤
Thank you all for starting this amazing project to make our world a better & healthy place. May ALLAH bless you and help you in this journey and I hope we all start to contribute to this by keeping it clean withing our reach.❤❤
They deserve Nobel Peace Prize for there extra ordinary work and effort
Love your work. It has come a long way since the early versions.
The shorts from this channel should be in everyone's scroll feed
Bravo for all this work. Proud of you.
Absolutely fantastic.
Now, find out which fishing/shippping companies these belong to and give them massive fines for there rubbish
I think it is fantastic what you guys are doing. It’s hard to believe how much trash is in the ocean. Keep up the good work. You guys are making a big difference and the oceans of the world need you. Thank you.
It's inspiring to know people like you are out there doing this important work. Thank you!!
Great humans doing phenomenal work
I never thought I'd enjoy looking at plastic waste..
BUT.. when I see it being removed, in a beautiful way from the most valuable product the earth provides, OUR OCEAN it is a must to be watched..
Well done again to all involved in whatever way.
Thanks
Incredibly amazing! Thank you so very much for the goodness you create in the world, the ocean and in me.
What I like the most about your project is how it's tackling the problem everywhere, at the source in rivers and in the ocean. Now we need to target the companies generating all that trash for a profit.
Thank you all for the great work!
May your efforts be magnified 100 fold! Amazing work. God bless
great service to earth !!
Thank you for all your hard work 👏
Really appreciate everyone working hard on this project and really stands out how caring they are for the fishi es swimming near by ...would b cool to see a doctor. Base d on the lives of these workers .💖💖💖💖💖😊 So inspiring in genera!!!!
Appreciate all you do ❤❤❤❤
An incredible work, cannot thank you enough
Should open the eyes to everyone how bad our seas are polluted with plastics and this is only in the Pacific
Bless you guys!
thank you guys for the work you do. God Bless
Thank you for cleaning the ocean!
Thank you, Team!!! 🙏❤️
Keep up the great work everyone! A very important project!
God bless you guys !
Outstanding work 👏
Keep going guys!! you're amazing!!!!
Always gives me hope for the future when I see the results you are achieving.
i am so glad we have heroes like you guys saving the world. who needs superman when you have the ocean cleanup.
A thousand thank yous. We all need to consistently combat plastic waste - and plastic use - as much as possible. Shame you can't dump that lot at the HQ of the offender's.
Amazing work, thank you to all who help with this project!
Thank you! ❤😊
Thank you guys. This needs to be expanded to other areas. It is a good start.
Good work people! ❤
thank you for your service to mother nature!
The aerial view of the ships towing System 03 kinda makes it look like the ocean is smiling. Very fitting. 🙂
Wonderful work you Guys are doing and a fantastic achievement also
You are wonderful. Thank you
Such a tremendous project.
I am so very happy to see this effort continuing!
Wish I could 'cruise' with you for a week or two!
thanks for cleaning up our mess.... really appreciate your hard work
God bless you!
Blessed y'all!!!!
Salute your work love from india❤
Love, love, that this is happening! Thank you. Going to research how it’s all funded.
You all give me hope. God bless you.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
Awesome. Great to see the progress. Keep it up guys!
Amazing work….the planet thanks you 👍🏼
Keep up the amazing work! This will be looked back on as one of the greatest things man kind has ever done for the planet and all the things living on it
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.
thanks for the great work
I love u guys , always wanted to experience such a good work for our mother earth ,with u guys its possible thanks you again 💙
GREAT JOB GUYS 👍💯
Love and support from 🇮🇳
This project will be definitely in the future history book of success! Great job! 👍🏻✨✨
