- Through years of research into riverine plastic and its behaviours, we have sought to understand the fundamental principles of plastic transport from rivers to oceans. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/371k8sN

To rid the oceans of plastic, we need to not only clean up what is already out there, but also stop new plastic from entering the ocean: we need to close the tap.
Rivers are the main source of ocean plastic pollution. They are the arteries that carry waste from land to the ocean. Our research found that 1000 rivers are responsible for roughly 80% of the pollution.
Working together with government leaders and private corporations, our goal is to tackle these 1000 most polluting rivers, all over the world, by 2025. How? By deploying Interceptors.
The Interceptor is The Ocean Cleanup’s answer for river plastic waste. It is the first scalable solution to prevent plastic from entering the world’s oceans from rivers.

When the outsiders start to pick the trash in your own home, it shows how dirty the owner is. As someone who's born and live in Klang, I deeply apologize.
Its the least they can do for introducing such a harmful material to the developing world. That being said its still our responsibility to maintain cleanliness..
@@khanb5503 if you don't like being 'given' the technology of plastic, do you want to give sewerage, medicine, and civil engineering back too?
@@khanb5503 what kind of retarded logic is that
@@williamchamberlain2263 Hey dummy did i say i didnt like being given plastic?! If you produce something so harmful it should come with responsibilities. That's what im saying.
@@williamchamberlain2263 sewerage civil engineering and medicine are not destructive like plastic.
We L💜VE "The Ocean Cleanup".
It's so heartbreaking to see what we humans have done to our own world.
Millennial28 I agree but now is the time to take action and clean up the mess we’ve made.
It’s easy to think about me and my space, harder to consider us and our planet.
It's so heartwarming to see what we humans are doing to our own world.
You mean to see what that 70% of the world's Pollution ( Plastic included ) comes from only 100 Companies in the world.
This is Money, this is Capitalism- almost all 187 nations on Earth use the Capitalist Economy, which doesn't manage waste- it makes profit. The Waste Management is always dump, and leave because it's a waste of money. Don't blame yourself or others, blame the Corporations that aren't humans, that are 'spooks' of the Imgaination Polluting your world.
This isn't even a point to Argue over even Anymore- have you ever read the I.P.C.C. report on it's whole? It's a great bunch of scientific papers that's peer reviewed and really scary eye opener of who the Polluters are. These Boyan Slat Ocean people are taking their research from those papers, they're doing this *"Counting"* in the video for PR.
Life isn't a reality T.V. Show - so stop believing every RUclipsr or Blog/Magazine telling you how the world works. Do some Critical Thinking. Go on www.phys.org/ and other Scientific Sites, read some linked peer reviewed papers. Check it daily- and actually learn for yourself how the World works.
You'll come to find how you've been manipulated right-throughout your life.
Science & Post-Capitlist society is the only way forward for the Human Race. Read the Greatest modern Philosopher Alive today, Noam-Chomsky → Manufacturing Consent.
@@TheVisionaryArtist it's time to make a change, if we all work together we can make this world a better place...
But when there is a trash dump leaking into the river than all the plastic you fish out will just to back to that trash dump and it will return again.
I know you cannot fix all the problems alone. I really hope that there are organizations that can put pressure on the local governments to shut down those trash dumps next to rivers.
It has to do with education as well.
I lived in a city in Guatemala called Esquintla, it also had a literal river of trash running through it. Rats lived on islands of trash. This was nearly 20 years ago. Thank you for starting this company, thanks to all who contribute.
I also appreciate all the science and research you all do.
I just want to say...thank you ocean clean up group for cleaning our mess....humanity need more people like all of you
Hey guys great work, I am a Canadian living in Peru. I was astonished by how little the people of Peru care for the environment, let alone their city or back yards. There is a real need to change the culture here, get to the root of the problem. When you see people dumping a bag of garbage out of the window of a small bus called Combi, and no one even blinks (I was the only one asking the person to care for Perú). The tourist areas maybe clean, but when you look at the side of the roads just packed with garbage. So I think Education is another area that may have a big impact.
Yes education is a big deal to get less fortunate countries to know about the problems it makes when they just dump all trash in the rivers. So the whole world needs to sit down and make education free in every country in the world. Next step is to make manufacturer start to pay for the waste management system, then they will start to make better packaging.
@@magnusE7 You do realize that "educated and more fortunate" countries trash 30 times more than Asians right?
True. Same here in the Philippines.
Complete disregard to the environment, trash thrown or burned everywhere.
The should get high school students and college students there on site to do cleanups every once in a while. Sometimes life lessons can be instilled outside of classrooms
Amran Ismail agree
Good idea....
Get students to clean it all up? Get the entire freaking County to clean up their garbage. It drives me nuts how we get "students" to do all the crap work out there.. In the office and the field.
Building students could build a structure to contain this mess for a start
Where people only pray and do nothing 🤔
It's hard to imagine people actually live and work there, and don't feel ashamed of all the damage they do.
The sad truth is that they don't see it, they throw a wrapper on the street and the rain or the wind take it away and they never go or pass by the drain outlet and even when they know where all the street trash go they don't want to see it they prefer to live in a voluntary oblivion and as Boyan has said most of the people thinks that is the problem for the new generations and not theirs to fix.
@@EPortillo5000 Well I do not remember the last time I threw a wrapper on the street.
The fact that in less developed countries this is normal is the problem to begin with.
Crushing yet effective content. This is what people need to see, same with the oceans, yet this brings it home to show that every problem in which exists is human-created, mostly in large urban centers
Im angry. Im angry on how we treat our mother nature who have given us everything we need to trive and live and this is how we repay her.
Im ashamed, im deeply ashamed.
I pitched in $5/mo. Im broke right now but I will increase my contribution in the future. I love what you guys are doing. I hope more people support you so that we can fix this problem as fast as possible.
its good that you guys are cleaning the river, but if the locals are still not giving a F about the environment then its safe to say that those plastic waste are not going anywhere
I love so much what you have done, thank you so much The Ocean Cleanup
Well done on the research. We need to show this to more people. Also find them a way to help, either by donating or more clean up beach activities
I had the pleasure to meet Michelle, with Frank and Sjoerd here in Motagua River Guatemala. I made a research in aldea el Quetzalito about plastic. Hopefully they’ll comeback some day to make a good work here because it’s really important to help motagua river so people can have. Better way of life in quetzalito.
And here is another dutch invention that will hopefully save the world! Keep up the great work your doing
You guys in NL are definitely leading the way! :) Cheers from Denmark. I'm doing my best here to help closing the tap.
I hope you guys can also make smaller scale intercepts that you can rent or sell to countries or cities big or small. To generate some revenue to fund future projects and innovation
We need to rid our dependence on single use plastics, companies need to put humanity above profit.
The birds trying to get into it is devistating
Thanks to this company that now I always have a second thought before using plastic bag to carry my groceries
Such a great video! We all thank you for making headway to stop pollution! you are great human beings
Thanks, Ocean cleanup. 👍
I don't know much about the subject so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Can this waste be ground up and mixed into concrete? Of something like it. Building materials or could it be melted and spin it into insulation? Maybe that's to obvious and it's been ruled out. I don't know
So glad, there are people like you...
Those companies have to pay for their packaging parts
The most important part would be to make pressure to the governments, i mean, it is really sad that solutions do not come from "above"
Amazing work! But unbelivebel how we treat mother nature!!! I just have the feeling to finish my studyies and then I'm gonna join you guys!
Iam shocked everytime I see those pictures. And I can not believe that so many people does not care about that. Even here in Germany.
If someone says that why he should separate his waste, I show them your pictures.
But in Germany it maybe is like 1-5% of the population that not give a s**** in poorer countries that % is more like 80-100% so the contents is that we need free education in poorer countries.
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Keep up the good work guys
Good Work
Awesome work! Keep it up!
Keep the good work up!
Go even more "upstream" and tackle problem at it's source - plastic manufacturers, also need to invent cheap ways to substitute plastic in consumer products
I LOVE THE OCEOAN CLEAN UP
We need Interceptor in Philippines please 🙏
You guys got this.
All the team is a huge inspiration for me an my career choice! Keep up the good work!
I have a question concerning the Interceptors: What happens when a huge log, trunk of a tree, or a whole tree flows down the river. Seems too big to enter the maw of the Interceptor, so does it jam up, or somehow bypass?
There are safety mechanisms, I heard from Boyan Slat's video about the interceptor.
Good question! The Interceptor was designed so that its nose (the area where the debris enters the conveyor belt) can deflect big objects such trees. If a situation were to arise that a large object such as a huge log, has not been deflected, the system will send an automatic alert to local operators and they will attend to the device asap.
@@theoceancleanup -- Thanks for the quick reply. I'm incredulous that something like this had been proposed, lot alone put into operation. It is now one cog on the wheel of the cleaning of the waters of the world and very much appreciated.
I started cleaning rivers in Bali, but it was endless. it was worth it and would immediately do it back. any country, but no longer on a hotel, it had really been estimated differently. being a volunteer abroad is not as easy as it seems. but I do want to go back somewhere immediately if that was possible, together strong......divers love
You need to start in the beginning. You can't empty a bucket with a spoon if there is coming in a bucket more water for every spoon you emptying.
Amazing amazing job 👌🙏
Good job guys n girls
I’d like to see the last picture clip being cleaned up 🧹
Heroes :)
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL 🐰🤗
0:58 its heartbreaking to see the pollution and that humans throw whatever to pollute
3:50 he's holding mie sedap plastic wrap. that noodle is my savior when i was a student at Johor Bahru. at least i make sure to properly throw it in a bin
And from the bin it goes to the landfill and from the land fill it goes into the river.
@@terrysullivan1992
So ...
Should we cook it along with the ramen, and eat it too?
@@fajaradi1223 in China they include it in the _% protein per 100g_
Zaki Tamimy boycott this company n buy food with biodegradable packaging
@@pleongv1 sorry, i prefer not to starve while busy studying and writing papers. there's no way i can find any food to eat at midnight if people banning things and considering product price increasing which would drains more of bit of allowance that i had at that time so, no
Absolutely disgusting! That is ridiculous it was allowed to get that bad without anyone doing anything about it.
This was depresing.
Aha, i just want to say in this video because I want to test your heart or your mind too! I will not to say in this video if you make me sure and you don't make me angry or feel bad about you too 😊 I admired and always loved you and your great work! 🙏🙏💯💖
Im from india im really looking forward to see this project being done in india
How do you separate the organic material from the plastic gathered by the Interceptors?
That is not point number one. The people that make the products is point number one. Stop using plastic to make everything. Point two is the people. They must recycle the waste. Point three is what your looking at.
Your doing wonderful work btw. So thank you for that
Think this should be mandatory for each government to purchase a minimum of 5 to ten of this machine depending on the size of the country and its population and the amount of polluted rivers in the country
Those first seconds of the video..... Whatyhe hell is wrong with humanity?
My country was pollute as well. IDK why people so cruel that leaving a trash in the forest.
Thank you for solving this problem!
Really disgusting see these images.
I can't believe that is normal have this situation.
Thanks for your research!
This source in Guatemala you show: is that a landfill site which happens to leak a lot of rubbish into the river, or are they systematically, deliberately pushing it into the river? Either way, it's shocking, but if the latter, that ought to be criminal
How SICKENING to see how little respect we have for other creatures and for the very source of life!...
Can the companies with fishing rights in the region sue the dump operators for degrading the fishery?
Seeing those videos of plastic and all sorts of trash in the nature is so disgusting :(
Otro problema es que hacer con toda la basura y no creo que la reciclen ya que necesitarias plantas de reciclaje tan grandes que tendria mucho costo por lo cual saldria mas barato hacer plastico que reciclarlo (opinion mia)...
now i understand why this year's merdeka theme is malaysia bersih
Is better waste infrastructure not the answer? Help countries avoid waste getting in to the river in the first place, rather than cleaning it up once it is there. Obviously cleaning what's already in there is important too, but long term this would be the more scalable solution.
What do we have to do to fix the system in place that they get rid of waste and "mismanage" waste
We need to make the manufacturer start to pay for waste management in every country, it's not only the countries role to pay. And next is to make education free in every country on this planet. If a child see everyone throwing trash on the ground then the kids grow up and do the same. In some richer countries schools go wisting waste management companies, And even go around near school properties and pick up trash.

This is not a pollution problem, it is a people problem.
Rumah saya di hulu sungai Ciliwung masih banyak yang buang sampah ke sunngai
Santai aja ...

When is Interceptor 04 going to be deployed in Rio Ozama, Dominican Republic?
Thank you for your interest Christopher! You can expect Interceptor 004 to be deployed in the Dominican Republic by early 2020.
@@theoceancleanup Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to seeing this working in our dirtiest river. It will definitely work and will help people to be more conscientious about picking up the mess we have done... Can you tell us some time before what day would it be deployed, to assist since the first day with the Scientific High School? Thank you again The Ocean Cleanup!
I do not understand how the counting of plastic debris is efficient. The usage of net is more efficient than counting from the bridge with a pair of eyes.
Thaaaaaank you guys soooooo much. If you could get high school kids to get involved in all kinds of clean ups they might help train their parents. And people your age to get to the students with pictures and stink bottles and give'm the Greta Effect. Become role models right in their faces. Kids need to help out, but they need to get informed and they are not. We need schooling now wth classes and work credits for climate change with dynamic presenters who reward kids who come up with good ideas.Bless you all.
Clean this !
How is it possible for people to dump so much trash in the sea?
1 trash=1 people....there are billions of people living in earth...you think?
Big problem is illegal plastic dumps and other countries like US shipping their garbage to Malaysia www.eco-business.com/videos/malaysiathe-new-dumping-ground-for-the-worlds-plastic-waste/
how about the debris that are not floating like tyres,metal something heavy that cannot float ?🤔🤔
Tyres float.....metal like shipwrecks probably turn into home for floras in the ocean...like moss
@@nitrozgovroomvroom not really dude how can you say tyres are floating they are submerged and many other plastics, i knew it because we clean rivers and ocean in my countries as a volunteer.
Its probably tyres that are broken and doesnt have any air in it....but as for plastics that submerged.....thats why they are doing their best to clean the rivers to avoid aqualife in the ocean and rivers from going extinct
Just my idea, I think about the problem of plastic in the ocean or the rivers around the world. Will have to take the countries (ranking of the world) of this problem Or the government those are responsibilities and take care of this problem And make every effort too 🤔
I can not believe my eyes 👁
No hay otra opción que no sea el uso de plástico :p?
It bsays a lot about the malaysian people
So sad 😶😐 Why..?? When the human being have responsibility to themselves and the environment? 🤔
I love her accent.
The source of the trash is its production in the first place. We need better options when we shop.
God bless you all!
When the time comes, there will be a reasonable waste disposal in Malaysia. That's really terrible to see how these people / politicians pollute our planet.
I hope it is not too late to start doing something
5:36 Guatemala?
we work on river quality and water quality and contamination research, lets work together on cleaning water and measure purity
Governments should be outraged, especially in rich countries sending their garbage elsewhere. The 'super consumer' mindset is careless. I'm looking forward to the day that the Ocean Cleanup retires all its equipment - meaning that it simply won't be needed anymore. But I'm afraid ignorance will prevail for decades to come. In the meantime, keep inspiring us by your actions.
terrible que uno de los ríos de mi páis Guatemala este creando islas de plastico

These images are just appalling and heartbreaking to know extent. It really does feel like a flash forward to only a few decades in the future somewhere in the west if we don’t fix the problems our species has been creating for itself over just the past couple of decades.
We have the same laundry basket at home!
If we can develop more technology to recycle plastic and make it as a viable business, we can remove alot of this plastic from source. Any one know any company/organization focus on technology to recycle morden trash? ( plastic, electronic, heavy metal...)
When people struggle to survive, concern for the environment isn't as important. Empowering people to earn more quickly pays for concern for the environment.
You can't say it that way. Stop eating meat and you solve so many issues!
It seems like among everything that is intercepted we also have "organic trash" (e.g. branches, leaves, etc.). Is there a possibility to separate those from the plastic in order to reuse them in some way?
Ocean Cleanup around the Globe
The source of the trash is the manufacturer, start to let them to pay for the waste management. Then there the manufacturer start to make better packaging. And next is to get better education to all children in the world.
This is sad what humans are doing to our world
I'm not going to blame Malaysia but this plastic is world problem now every Nation is suffering from it ,we need worldwide solution for this
