- In this video, we explain how our Ocean Cleanup system 001, works. System 001 was launched in September 2018 and was the world’s first cleanup system to be trialed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/371k8sN
The ocean is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods - vessels and nets - would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove half the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost. Our first cleanup system will be deployed in the summer of 2018. This is how it works.
--
Trash accumulates in five 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 is big. Cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch using conventional methods - vessels and nets - would take thousands of years and tens of billions of dollars to complete. Our passive systems are estimated to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years, and at a fraction of the cost.

This is what Billionaires need to be supporting, something that is actually cleaning the planet for the better.
But no. They always like the easy way because they think they are the gods. They like to enjoy all the time and that leads to brain deactivation. If there is a brain tho...
TheSacko Why should anybody support a hoax?
Xam 06 Because nobody should be forced to spend their money on anything.
That’s tyranny.
Xam 06 Because there is zero evidence to support it even existing.
Xam 06 That’s not my argument, if you can’t stay on topic or don’t comprehend English don’t even reply to me.
"The fleet is expected to clean up 50% percent of the great pacific garbage patch every 5 years". Even if it turned out to be less, it would still be an insane amount!
there's no way this claim can be aimed at all the plastic in the garbage patch, only the visable surface. There's metric tons of plastic they're missing to even mention, they're likey getting less than 10% if even 1% of the total mass of the plastic, certainly not removing it faster than the ocean is currently taking in. The deep underwater currents are trapping untold amounts of plastic. Cleaning the surface will cover up the problem for a time
sourc please
They've done studies to check where most of the plastic is, and found it to be at the surface. See this: www.theoceancleanup.com/updates/ocean-plastic-within-reachable-cleanup-depths/ , as well as this video which explains a lot: ruclips.net/video/du5d5PUrH0I/видео.html
They've also done extensive modelling, and the predictions show that cleanup will be faster than accumulation. Do you have any credible sources that states otherwise?
I wouldn't call them douchebags. The people most likely just have no other option than dumping the trash in the ocean and rivers. Their countries' waste management systems are just not developed enough to handle the amount of trash they produce. The people who dump the trash probably don't like it either. Also many of the worst offending countries are really committed to fixing the problem.
sdhbfhkds Cough Cough
China actust buys garbage from US which it used to throw earlier in the sea Cough Cough
This is absolutely amazing. I'm an engineer and this is the type of work one can be really proud of at the end of the day.
Agreed!
After 3 years,it's great to see this not just a plan but being implemented. 👍🏻To cleaner oceans🐠🐡🐳
4 now
I was so worried that animals would get caught in the net or ecosystems could be damaged but this video really helped me to understand the system. Keep up the good work!
If only we could prevent people from dumpng the plastic in the ocean in the first place.
It is not only people dumping plastic directly into the ocean. It is all of us when we consume this type of long-lasting light materials (mostly plastic). It usually finds its way to the ocean through rivers or wind. It can take it year but eventually get there.
I would suggest avoiding any type of packaging with products when possible to help diminish the problem.
Or make it economically advantageous to recycle plastics, etc.
You will never be able to prevent it. Because new plastic products are Bio-degradable. Creating on non-fossil resources.
even god can't do it..
Not all plastic can be recycled, there is still more work to be done. We still need to push our societies to adopt a zero waste economy.
Or just band together internationally and put pressure on India and China to filter their rivers before they reach the ocean, as that's where 90% of the plastic in the oceans come from
+AldoRey I understand catching the plastic before it comes into the oceans is important, but that is not a substitute for a zero waste economy.
iMaDeMoN2012 Yeah but it might be the more realistic option. Not sure if many of the countries along the Pacific can support a zero waste economy; they're still third world developing countries.
iMaDeMoN zero waste? Not possible, let’s stick to feasible solutions first.
Unfortunately, truly zero waste requires infinite energy. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the universe we live in, codified in the three laws of thermodynamics. However, the more access a country has to affordable electricity, the less harmful waste is emitted. Instead, we have more efficient homes, recycling, catalytic converters, scrubbers on smoke stacks, sanitary landfills, and sewage treatment plants. Poor countries burn what they can because they don't have clean natural gas. They use rivers as garbage dumps.
Truly inspiring!!!!
@Joshua Madery tf
This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen. It's a solution that works and that will make progress. I'm so happy that there are still people out there who are making an effort to save this planet.
Excelent!! great job!!!
IAmaPersion at least we have ways to clean this up, but yeah if the population keeps growing, this may not be good for all of us, it's because of inconsiderate people who think the ocean is a garbage bin, since it is so vast and deep
Well they say the population will even out at 10 billion because third world countries are getting better lots of people are having less baby's thanks to better medication.
All they have done is added more pollution so far. What a great fucking job hey?
A big thanks to The Ocean Project 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. You are the only company that I know who is doing something to fight this pollution. I wish many many more companies turn up in aid..
Thanks for the explanation ,
I saw a video about Ocean clean-up and was worried about the marine creatures, but now I know it is all safe 😘😇😇
We need all the possible solutions *to solve the pollution issue.*
Let's hope it works as planned or even better !
I'd been thinking that we need a technological solution,one that can largely run by itself,to help address a problem of this magnitiude. Great that this is being done. But it baffles me that so many people dirty up their own back yard and that of others by throwing the stuff just anywhere in the first place.
It doesn't work at all whatsoever , complete fail . It didn't collect any trash and now it's broken altogether
@@busybody1474 Oh. :-(
Ralph even if it worked as hoped, they are only skimming the surface particles and most of the dangerous smaller particles are deeper below the surface. This is just a Band-Aid, the solution is to keep the plastic from entering the ocean in the first place
@@busybody1474 I agree totally. It's just that with the amount of stuff already out there being so huge it's going to be beyond mammoth as an undertaking to clean it all up,so if some technological device(s) can be set up that can work quietly away nibbling at it with a limited maintenance requirement that should help a bit. Or have I strayed into the realm of perpetual motion machines here?
The discussion should be... Around 1980 plastic began to replace glass on store shelves. Plastic was cheaper and dramatically cut shipping costs. Glass is inert and doesn't impact the environment like plastic does. This looming crisis is just beginning. The only solution is to go back to glass or biodegradable and the large corporations are not about to do this. This is why this story does not come up on cable news or commercial TV. Where is public broadcasting? I guess they have been bought off too.
I agree with everyone this is great, but...it now falls on us to BUY the products generated from ocean-retrieved plastic in order to economically sustain this project. Otherwise they will never be able to reach their goals and clean the ocean!
So for all the people asking how to help, that's how you can do it ;)
Or, don't buy useless stuff and support them with money instead.
How about we force the plastic manufacturers to provide the financial resources to keep this project going...
And you got that information from? It's a Non-Profitable Organization, they won't be getting the money from the products that were generated from ocean-retrieved plastic being sold. The only way to help it is to fund it.
www.theoceancleanup.com/fund/
It would probably be better to melt all the plastic together and then store it for future use - a sort of In situ petrochemical storage system.
And when you're done with your purchase, just throw it back into the ocean to keep the cycle going!
This needs to be..

You are incredible humans. I love you. Thank you.
Been following your project from the start! Can't wait to see it in action cleaning up our oceans, time is running out and for most of us you're currently our only hope!! Thank you so much.
This is the content I signed up for.
Amazing! Next-gen technology, quite clever as well. Its always nice to see big things happen with sustainability in mind.
Thank you for caring about our planet, this gives me hope for humanity.
I'm so proud of The Ocean Cleanup!
I love you Ocean Cleanup!!!
Projeto fenomenal. Parabéns aos idealizadores e aos patrocinadores.
This type of the video materials should be used by Every Single School on the planet by Law...!!! Period.
Thank you so much for sharing and EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT WORK...!!! 🤙
Legends without a pause!!!
This is amazing! Thank you for staying aware about our oceans!
This is incredible what you are doing for the environment
Thank you for developing this and inspiring this type of innovation in 2018
I have been watching this plan from the first idea by Boyan. I really hope this works for the sake of the sea creatures and for our own health. Keep going!
I'm glad that this project has started and helps get our Earth back in shape.
This project is amazing and should be in every ocean/sea area
How do people actually come with solutions like this. Truly amazing. Putting into practice is an another thing tho.
My heart was pumping like crazy till the end of this video
thank god someone is actually trying to stop global warming
I can't tell if either of you are joking or not
Truly amazing
Great job! This is our best hope that the ocean is safe, I love how you use technology to save the environment, great job I'm so proud of you
Last minute, May I went to the bathroom 🙂 Very happy! & peaceful 😇 I 'm on holiday & watching your work, So proud of you & your team 🙂🙏🙏💖😇
50% every 5 years :O
I love you
lets get about 100 of these throughout the ocean
Finally something is happening for the better of the planet ❣️💖
So elegantly simple
THUNDERF00T we need ya to see this
It's a good Start
40 % of the Plastic flowing into the Ozeans could be eliminated by placing these Things in Chinese Rivers
love it
Fflint Corporations have shifted the responsibility from the manufacturers (producing less plastic/better forms of packaging) onto the consumers (recycling). But the problem is, most of the plastics entering the oceans originate from under-developed nations that do not have anti-litter laws or recycling programs/facilities. The pressure needs to be put on manufacturers to re-evaluate the way they package products
Not exactly underdeveloped, China and Indonesia outputting more than all other countries combined . By saying most plastics originate from "under-developed nations" comes off pretty close to trying to say the other nations are doing well to tackle their waste/pollution. Reminder that the USA is still in the top 10 countries polluting the oceans and north american rivers are not any cleaner in some to most areas. We're still in the early years of cleanup and the realization that we even had to, both China and Indonesia could beat our goals with the manpower and resources they posses
The inventor of this technology has said that the future is not about restricting our use of natural resources or plastics; but in finding better ways of dealing with our waste. Keep using the same amount; find new and better ways to efficiently clean up after ourselves.
but we wont have to make less of it, they can just clean it lol
I'm so glad you guys are making this world better❤️🌍🌍 love you all the way from Philippines
This should be presented in every news program in every country of the world. Real Engineering application that does not center on fads and profits, and gives hope to older and younger generations of a brighter future.
I think this a great idea and happy to see something is in the works to clean our oceans
But... if I may play Devils advocate. Currently we (as a planet) are recycling less than half of the current plastic on Terra firma .
Not say not to start the process.
I am saying we need to figure out how to process this immense amount of waste.
Collecting it is only half the battle
Von45Rose it’s less than half the battle, we’ll also need to figure out how to stop plastic polluters at the source.
That's awesome. Who is paying for this?
It's a non-profit organization! They're so generous!
Really so happy to see some people decided to make a change .
My - now - 89 year old aunt also donated for the very first crowdfunding for this powerful project. We both believed in the strength of the idea. It gives her hope for the future of our planet and its life. Thnx @Boyan Slat
Cleanning starts in our hands, at home etc...
this is a very intelligent and true comment!!!! namaste
Great! But so much plastic has sunk to the bottom as well 😞 how are we ever gonna get that?
Plastics density is typically 0.9 and thus lighter than water.
I like the new approach - simpler and with less stress on all components. With small, adjustable sails or drag vanes on the ends of the structure, it could have a fair bit of controllable mobility.
I'm so glad about this! I know that the future generation will have a chance ... Thanks
Great video and great idea. Until they show the part where they magically turn plastic into sunglasses. Suddenly the whole project looks very suspicious to me. Recycling the waste will be borderline imposible, at least from a financial and technical perspective. You cannot just take all plastic, run it through a machine and get sunglasses. You will need a great deal of logistics, technology, energy and other resources to recycle just a % of the collected plastic, probably a much more difficult project than cleaning the ocean itself, which is pretty difficult already
Nice! but what about the micro particules ? =/
Guess that seems hopeless for the next 10 years but this here is a great start
microparticules are also contain in this
Search "Fionn Ferreira"
@@valerierowland6463 Nope, there will still be insane amounts of microplastics out there :/
Bravo, so grateful for your actions
brilliant initiative! Need more of these across the world's oceans
"The fleet is expected to clean up 50% percent of the great pacific garbage patch"
Me: OMG
"...every 5 years"
Me: oh
How can I join here?
i think you can make a volunteer application on their website, that's what TheOceanCleanup said on another comment similar to this
You guys are awesome!!!! I'm a big fan!
Everyone should know this.Great job ocean cleaners 👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Post a video of it getting trash
It's going to be deployed in the next few months.
i definitely think it will, and I hope so because there are still tons of people in this comment section and other places in the world that think this is fake..
its just in the testing phase now, once System 001 is deployed in the Pacific garbage patch, we can see the ocean plastic collection in full glory
hat_pick_ 13579 They should post a video of the trash itself even existing.
You figure that shouldn’t be too hard considering they claim this “garbage patch” is “3x the size of Texas”, but there hasn’t been one single video showing this thing even exists.
Weird huh?
@Rifle Shooter Channel ruclips.net/video/QHK2Zg5OibI/видео.html Lots more just a search away.
Why does it take a kid from the Netherlands to do this when the big corporations throughout the world should have done it 30 years ago.
This is fantastic, and congratulations to all involved. The key though is to prevent anything like this happening in the future. Plastic industry engineers and managers all around the world must take a hard look at this challenge again, and again and see what they are doing because plastic products won't just evaporate in the future! We must find sustainable green solutions here too. Best, Paul
Amazing system! Great job!
The Indian and Chinese governments should contribute more than anyone into this project.
Don't turn it into a country issue, we all create pollution. It just happens to be more visible in some countries.
India does not have trash collection organized by their governments yet, but are working on it. China recycles there waste. The problem is global not country specific. To point fingers at who produces, makes or throws away the most rubbish is not going to make the situation better, because it distract from working at reducing the waste in the first place. I think you can only ask people to clean up their act if you yourself can stop your own burning up of resources. That is nearly impossible in this modern world where everyone wants the latest Iphone. We need to seriously look at global warming, soil erosion, water saving methods, placing huge amounts of solar panels in all the deserts on every southern continent and wind and wave energy on the northern hemisphere. We would not have any energy issues then, it just means we peoples would have to work together. But war and capitalistic interests prevent those ideas.
@Martijn But on a per capita perspective, India produces way less waste than other countries.
We need an human clean up.
You must mean *etnic cleansing*
We need this working NOW!
This is a great idea to clean up the ocean!!! Totally support
Only 21K views? We are getting poisoned by this plastic and Despacito is more important? Where is the governments help in this?
81,550+ views now
Yes Despacito is the best thing in the world. You are a nerd
It now has 2.5 million views and 24K likes
I would like to take part in this. How can I help? 🙋
You can help fund it by donating: www.theoceancleanup.com/fund/
ooh thank you
URHO TM They just want your money.
Nothing will be cleaned up because there simply is nothing to clean up.
The “garbage patch that’s 3 times the size of Texas” does not exist, it is a hoax.
if u are talented, work for them. Else just donate for their project. Your money worth investing
Xam 06 See I don’t have to prove a negative.
They have to prove that it exists, the burden of proof is on them.
They haven’t shown one shred of credible evidence that this “garbage patch that’s 3 times the size of Texas” is out there floating in the Pacific Ocean.
All they do is show silly cartoons or computer animations. Where’s the aerial photos or satellite pictures of this thing?
Why are there people who were on the fishing business or trans-Pacific shipping industry for *decades* who are saying this thing isn’t there?
Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
The “Pacific Garbage Patch” is a hoax right up there with crop circles and Bigfoot.
thanks to everyone whoever contribute to this
Nice solution for this kinds of problem well done great job 👏👏👏👏👏
Anti collision systems? I wonder how that works.
lights.
Stefan Zijlstra it is on radar and AIS
How does this prevent it from colliding with other cleanup systems or is this not an issue?
I see, it's just a fancy name for lights
Stefan Zijlstra Not an issue. All systems are being carried by natural fluid movement. Since they are carried by fluids, they move like fluids. When you get two currents moving converging, they start to redirect themselves upstream to start joining in the same direction of flow. The only time you don't get this happening is with water falling with gravity or supersonic flow (both are obviously not present here). Because of these reasons, two systems being carried by converging currents would probably not collide and instead end up travelling in the same direction parallel to each other. At most, they would collide with very low relative velocity.
I think this video and the company's website are misleading. While a very honorable goal this organization still seems to be very early in the the prototype phase. A fully operational infrastructure that gathers the plastic waste as described, transports it to land where it is sorted, recycled and turned into new products to be resold seems a lot further away than the two years projected. Especially considering the expectations that the sale of the plastic waste will finance the operation.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ may this will work forever
This video helped me a lot to understand easily .
Hi Guys i really respect your Work but in my Opinion this is a bit useless at the Moment. 90% of the new Plastic Worldwide ist coming from 10 Rivers. I think the World has to Focus first to Stop new Plastic coming straight from this Rivers. Please think about it! Theres no Point in fishing the waste Out while somewhere else hunderes of Tons get in again. Please Like it so they See it!
BBBHHHCCC1 I agree 100%. its would also set terrible precident if we(united states, canada, Australia, new Zealand and Europe) started cleaning up after everyone else. really it's no different than stealing from us, our children and grandchildren.
But, the plastic problem solution isn't just one solution.... It's a network of solutions all put together on our earth to work on the problems... Of course the sources of pollution waste is a huge part of the plastic problem in our waters but reducing the plastic garbage patch is a good area to tackle now!.. Save marine habitat now.. Don't wait until the sources have been reduced!
There is actually another company that's already planning on this problem. Pacific Garbage Screening want to create a filter system that filters out microplastic from rivers preventing it to arrive in the oceans. Due to the usage of water flow and temperature fishes still can pass, so there is no interference with wildlife.
They're still in the phase of producing their first prototype, but I hope in combination those projects will be very effective to sea and water pollution.
Here's a TED Talk of the inventor: ruclips.net/video/gPCKj5xzmME/видео.html
Here the system's being explained (it's in german, but the illustration maybe help as well): ruclips.net/video/q6FQXfjJzSA/видео.html
The website: www.pacific-garbage-screening.de
What I think should also be considered about 'the ocean cleanup': In their videos they explain that the caught plastic of the pacific would be recycled and reused for new plastic products.
A) A lot of plastics is actually NOT recycable, so I guess the majority of the waste would be burned anyways. This would be however be used for energy production, so I guess it would at least be a little use for society and the plastic would be gone afterwards.
B) Using the rest of the recycable plastic to produce new plastic products. In their videos they're showing sunglasses as an example. The world will not be able to work as before without plastic at all, but shouldn't we try to reduce the creation of new plastic products where items get thrown away quickly? Like Sunglasses made of plastic?! To me it doesn't make too much sense to fish out plastic trash from the ocean to produce new 'fast fashion' and quick consumption goods out of it that lands in the trash again quickly and maybe ends up in the ocean anyways.
C) Plastic can't be recycled forever. You can recycle some kinds of plastic once, maybe twice or thrice, but at some point it's not possible to recycle and reuse it. So please let's work on a solution to only use plastic when there's no other material option.
Wouldn't it be cheaper if China just stopped dumping plastic in the ocean?
Wouldn't it be cheaper if US actually invested in REcycling rather than creating Landfills?
@@Helveteshit Turns out no. Stopping the plastics from being dumped by the world's biggest plastic producer is way cheaper. Dumps are free.
This is amazing! Way to serve humanity. We humans made a mess and ambitious humans are now finding a way to clean it up! It's a positive thing for sure!
Much support for this...
They have nice presentations but that is about it. Now if it only worked and of course no one would want the garbage they supposedly would collect. Nice fantasy and the kids are racking it on this snake oil.
Alright then, do you have any alternatives to clean plastics efficiently than this? , If you have it, do it if you can.
If you don't have it, then watch what others are doing and at least support them if you can instead of casting doubts
Firstly you assume that this clean plastics efficiently, which is pretty highly suspect. Secondly, why would I support it if it is a fantasy. They have brushed aside any sort of critical peer review on the science involved by stating that it is something they will solve at some point in time. If they truly were engineers and scientists, they would embrace peer review and comment because this is how real advancements are made. It just doesn't play well with the fundraising to do that.
Derrin Urban you clearly don’t understand it then
Clearly, I don't. As a mechanical engineer, I have read through all the literature and watched all the videos. I was impressed with the idea and as most here thought "how clever". Then I read the articles written by experts in the fields who have expressed serious reservations and concerns about the project. The only response to those concerns was silence or at best a dismissive statement that those concerns will be solved at some point by somebody, someday, ....
Yes clearly I don't understand.
So happy to know this exists
This is fabulous how it does not cause any damage to marine life. It was very much worth the time, effort and tweeking to get this right. And oo2 Jenny works it is so very exciting.
Let’s support this company !
Its an admirable start
Great idea and a must support solution, thank u!
This is what Billionaires need to be supporting, something that is actually cleaning the planet for the better. It's very nice that someone has actually started to protect the environment. These are not just loud words but great actions. You are a role model. Contrary to the Glasgow climate summit participants who flew in private planes, which produced a lot of pollution.
It's a big deal to make a big garbage truck like this in the ocean. The use of sea currents for it means that science is constantly evolving. It is a pity that I learn about you from English lessons, and not from the news on TV or the Internet. Good luck with your continued environmental efforts.
Very proud of anyone and everyone involved in this. The whales ,turtle's fish and I thank you
Thanks, team for doing this!
Well done! It is so good to know that we humans are, at long last, doing something to clean up our seas and oceans, etc - the task in hand is most challenging and daunting, but, even if it takes a century, it must be done. Keep up the wonderful work. God bless you. Thanks for sharing video.
finally im happy someone made this.
Strap these onto cargo ships as they cross the oceans. The owners of the ships can sell the collected plastic to Coke who have just worked out how to recycle ocean plastic. Great work guys! Keep it up.
Congratulations to the team behind this
Great work, keep it going!
This rocks! I wish there was more funding towards such companies...
LOVE. Gratefulness. Hopefulness, Resoluteness
