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.

Why isn't he giving a speech at UN instead of Greta?
Because this doesn't gives much money to the elites compared to taxing countries to death while signing a climate accord where every countrie compromises to do... nothing.
I couldn’t agree more with you!!--This requires a well self supported plan due to Western Government Inactivities !!!
It's in our hands and hearts to help him in this great mission. It's for the next ten or hundreds generations. 🙏💚♻🌏🌎🌍
Just give this kid the Nobel prize now. He'll get al the attention he needs to fund it and the international governmental support. Then your grandchildren may be able to swim in the ocean.
Agreed totally (on all points)!
It has to work first. Where is the project now? Is it in production? Has it been deployed?
Totally agree
Keeping things #plasticfee and #zerowaste

But they're too busy circle jerking and giving them out to war criminals, whoops I mean American Presidents :/
I think the first prototype is in use or is going in use in the very near future
EDIT: Made a quick search www.theoceancleanup.com/milestones/start-pacific-cleanup/
Absolutely Amazing!!!
You young man are changing the world!! One day you will be celebrated in the history books of the future to the likes of Nickola Tesla and Thomas Edison!! I don't want to seem to fanatic, but seriously you and your ingenuity is a ginormous gift to all life on this planet we call home!!! Thank you for not giving up!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
And just look what you did ❤. Nowadays this project is thriving and you, my dear friend are a hero!
that is so awesome!! only one man against the rubbish in the oceans! speak out my big respect for that what you do!!!!
he did it with lean startup
i think every big and rich countries should do this project or support him.
Lor Youheng , sadly they just don't care :(
Roy Wright It’s not so much that people don’t care as it is that politicians don’t like doing actual work. They like power and being able to do things to benefit them, but aside from that they can’t be assed. It would involve actual work.
"GO OCEAN CLEANUP 2024" ! AWESOME JOB ! 😊
Good luck Boyan, we need more people like you👍
Enjoy to watching! 😊 I don't to say for your news updated for today (new post) Aha! surprised! 🤭😊 I'm glad to meet you, and glad to see for your success 😊 yeah! collection of the ocean plastic 😀🤗 Great job! 👍🙏😍😊
Boyan slat, congratulations. Thank you for your awesome project!
I think this is a great idea, and God bless the guy and all these people for what they do. My only concern is, even though it's a great idea, while the system will surround the already existing plastic trash in the water, people will still keep dumping more trash in the ocean, so there will be new trash around the system. People need to stop trashing the oceans! There should be an international law against it and the violators should be prosecuted.
Inspirational. This is in many ways another form of mining an otherwise untapped resource.
Great Job.. I hope all goes well with your plans.
ironic to clean the ocean with a plastic floating wall :D But yes great work and it is nessesary to do. Well done. Cleanup the Ocean!
Thanks, to ironic, but his work or his ideas were the inspiration fore everyone
That's the correct way of using a piece of plastic which will certainly be recycled. 😘
It's just a buffer solution: to solve the problem definitively the plastic must be completely replaced by biodegradable materials
Plastic in the ocean has really encouraged me to go zero waste and plastic free :)
Aurobirre in every curse or sickness there are two steps : heal (which is what he proposes) and prevent (or replace). Both are extremely important but their importance depends on the advancement stage of the problem !
No, the problem is, that western countries pay Asian countries that don't have the infustruture to recycle huge amounts of plastic, to recycle their plastics. And so they pretty much just dump it in land fills and it all just ends up in the oceans anyway, there is enough plastic in the world to just stop creating it all together but there isn't any where in the world equipped with the facilities to recycle enough before everyone would run out. Also you would have to pull out a lot of plastic everyday and currently, even now there isn't enough plastic being taken out of the environment to seize production. Although I genuinely believe that if you shut down every single factory that makes plastic, one at a time and turned them into recycling plants you could easily recycle enough plastic to neaver need to make any more of it. As long as you could take Enough out of the oceans rivers, and in the streets.
Great work!
Thank you so much!!! :)
Amazing stuff!!
I luv u guys in the video!! Its genious
ojala se haga de forma.masiva y se convierta en algo obligatorio para los gobiernos con costas...
excellent!
Parabens jovem brilhante👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Every rich country should donate a ship dedicated to sailing round the world just picking up rubbish until it's cleared. 20 huge ships sailing continuously for about 10yrs should do it. China should pitch in at least a half dozen ships of their own as most of the cheap plastic goods come from there !!
In the video (that you're commenting on) he says using vessels and nets would take about 79,000 years. It's a little under 2 minutes long; I'm kind of amazed that you can't pay attention to an informational video on a topic for two whole minutes and are simultaneously confident that you can solve huge problems in that topic. My hat is off to your confidence, though. Congrats!
lol lolomcspanky, best comment
A question. Is the material for recycling too or we will have problems to recycle it?
we only share in face and what app... every play, its money... this guy need it.
GOEDENDAG ALLEMAAL,
GRAND, HOOR !! SUPERB !
REGARDS,
Amazing
Got to stop the plastics getting in the oceans. Ever been to NZ? No one drops litter there. That kind of pride and care in the environment worldwide would be a big start, and cost nothing.
What a hero
How would ships get through? Especially larger vessels, wouldn't they just rip it apart?
I'm assuming they would have to go around it under penalty of the law of the parent country for the project.
is indeed something they hopefully have thought about, but it could go wrong.
but man! come on! our ecosystem is dying.
Le On the booms are centered around gyres, boats can change their routes, with minimal effort
No shipping company would risk their billion dollar ship going through any hazard, big or small, with slightest risk of damage. Or at the very least not the captains. it's just not worth the down time, and/or penalty for late arrival, if shit goes wrong. I already expect them to avoid a small island of garbage like a virus; floating around in the waters already.
Thanks for the replies.
So what is the latest news on this project? Is it under construction? Does it have a deploy date? When can we expect to see something?
Superrr👍
bang on
If we scale up what about container ships?
I just watched the whole 10:24 speech, and I still don't know how this thing works, other then like every other surface oil catching system.. Good look
Held.🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Ho does it stay in a V formation ?
It's tethered at either end and a weight attached, so it will bow with the current. Simple yet elegant design.
How do they prevent sea life from getting stuck in the contraption and suffocating in tons and tons of plastic with no chance of survival?
It's a false argument. Way more sea life is getting killed by the plastic already. We must remove the plastic from the oceans. Then no sea life will die from the plastic in the oceans..
Just small doubt what happens if any cyclone occur in ocean is your prototype is good to handle this type of nature occurance
Inless we want a never ending problem we first have to catch what's in the rivers now, then work toward biodegradable plastic.
what's the name's boy?
i hope it is storm save.
We speak your name...
Who gonna fund it, much respect btw
Eventually, I imagine a combination of businesses and governments would pay. We could impose plastic taxes and tariffs on manufacturers of plastics and plastic goods (China would love that) or consumers of plastic at the point of sale. It works with cigarettes. Three hundred million divided by China, the US and the EU is doable over 20 years.
The project will help pay for itself by recycling all the plastic that is brought in and using it in other capacities.
Consumers in the end as always. Even if you put a tariff in place on industries it will trickle down to the end user buying the goods.
Jacque Minogue crowdfunding
It says on their web site: "We are financing the project with the help of philanthropic, commercial and governmental donations/sponsorships."
Also, I've read they are planning to sell the harvested plastic as Keith mentioned.
Desculpe eu entendo muito pouco inglês.
I wish he had gone into its power source. I saw the solar cell on the collector, but does this translate wave motion into usable energy, as was implied?
Someone litter
Someone clean
Everyone can understand it
Anyone won't
Poooof! Mind blown, À-mazing...I applaud your determination... Congrats,on your success.👏and THANK YOU FOR CLEANING THE OCEAN🙏💖👀
what happens when a ship happens to pass through it?
How does this take care of plastic which is suspended just a couple meters below the barrier? And is there a way to change this collected plastic into a biodegradable version available for the use in new disposable products?
How can I help support this project please
Change the gross water to like Jamaica
Who is the idiot who gives deslike? Has it ever contributed in any way to improving the world now and in the future?
I'm a teacher in Brazil and this young man has inspired my students to make a difference. Congrats
Waarom is dit 300k keer bekeken 😂👺👺👺
They used shark and as an example of sea life that could possibly bite through it. But what if it's a whale that tries to go through the net?
Who on earth disliked this??
i know right?!
But he didn't tell us how it will remove plastic from the ocean! Doh!
Kingdom of Heaven is on hand means God blesses(profits,prospers)every hands,in all that hands do God's will! God so loved the world that He sent His only Son(JESUS)so world can be save through Him! For example Clean the Sea out of reach means a lot(Saves the Sea life that is our food Resources from GOD(Rev.14:9-10),Balances our climate,one of the important learning corner(ECO system)part of Food Chain(eat,and learn)and most of all part of GOD'S mankind body creation,and law to care for,etc!As a Preacher(A builder/Foundation(Being a faithful,wants the WORD of GOD to be successful,to obey as instructed(Deuteronomy commandments)Foundation(Security/$100,000,000,000.00 Penalty if caught any Business,Organization,Nation drain,throw any toxic water,chemical,trash,oil in the sea!Report(International Youth Cleaning Team Foundation)if any break your Foundation)Fund/Budget use for Youth needs(stay of Prison,to Educate,support(those in need/food,clothing,shelter,water,Preach the WORD,etc!Build your goal with GOD(Father and Son,side by side)!That's Kingdom of Heaven!
great idea but, can the barrier handle "Heavy Disaster" like tornado (at the ocean some times), thunder storm, Crazy Heat (up to 60 celcius on come part of the ocean)
, or maybe some Tsunami? (Tsunami is rarely happend but.. yea), and what about sea animals?
like whale. and it maybe distrubing some water transportation right?
we have to think really hard for it. and i think the durability of the barriers cant even reach 50 years because it has to be light weight, and durable. and of course its not eazy to put durability, light weight, weather proof materials into a Ultra Long barrier on the ocean. and, some times wind direction changes and Maybe wind does matter but, hmmm... yeah, im only 13 so haha what do i know about the ocean? not much..
thanks, and sorry bad english
[i think if the barrier durability can reach 100 years on the ocean, thats would be Great!]
Have you fully watched the video?
They also said it would be easily repairable if a boat or something hit it, same with a natural disaster too id suppose.
Plz no pulution
His dry mouth and nose rubbing. He is on medication. It is where his brain power comes from.
I would know, I take the same medication. Just not as much as him.
NinjaOnANinja which one
yeah, which one.
Nope..he’s just nervous in front of a crowd, hence the dry mouth.
Its ok to houd je bek somtimes
How is this not going to kill lots of fish?
animals are going to be pressed under the barrier, because it weights more than water, while plastic is lighter!
Sounds like the kid with all the answers is still learning about the problem. Hmmm..
