- On September 8, The Ocean Cleanup will launch the world’s first ocean cleanup system through the San Francisco Bay, toward the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/371k8sN
Short before the launch, Founder and CEO Boyan Slat explains how we got there and the challenges lying ahead of System 001.

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. This is why, at the Ocean Cleanup, we are developing passive systems that are estimated to remove 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage patch in just five years.
After 273 scale model tests, six at-sea prototypes, a comprehensive mapping of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) with 30 vessels and an airplane, and several technology iterations, we launched the world’s first cleanup system from San Francisco on September 8, 2018. During its approximate four months offshore, many aspects of the technology were proven, but it was observed that the system was not effectively retaining plastic. While the team was testing solutions, a fatigue fracture caused an 18-meter section of the system to detach. The crew and the system safely returned to shore on January 17, 2019, thus concluding the first campaign of System 001.

A project of true worth and meaning, proving that taking action is truly possible even when the task appears overwhelming.
really cool I used your example in one of my projects for school. I also was motivated by you to create my own plastic recycling project.
That's great! You should be proud and keep doing good work!!
Great! Keep going!
Maybe yours works, because this didn't. It is too slow and plastic just floats out of it.
Boyan Slat, and the Ocean Clean Up, Thank you Thank you and Thank you!!!! Best of luck to you and all of us. Great love and respect from Turkey!
Really admire the engineering, science and deep preparation work done by your entire team. Highest regards.
if you should run out of money for the project don´t hesitate to ask, we supporters will surely help! keep up the good work :)
I want to thank you and your team. Risks are in the nature of such big ambitious projects. And I know there's a lot of money and hope involved. It sounds already too good so thank you for the transparency of it all. Wish you all the luck!!!
Thank you Boyan
Keep up the excellent work! Our oceans need all the help they can get.
Sending all kinds of happy thoughts to the entire Ocean Cleanup team. May the launch be flawless and System 001 perform exactly as designed.
when pushing the envelope of engineering into the unknown, this is engineering at it's finest, if not your just going in circles, and you won't progress forward for the betterment of mankind, best of luck into your endeavors
Just found out about this project earlier today, so exciting to see *somebody* doing *something* about this growing problem! So inspiring to see all the kickstarter backers supporting you along the way!
iamisandisnt anyone can start doing something by identifying plastic waste in their lifestyle and doing things differently. The responsibility lies with every individual, not just the big guns like Boyan! :)
Alex Camilleri no... nobody was doing *anything* about the ocean patch. Thanks for your self righteous huxleyan "blame the consumer" bullshit, tho
iamisandisnt There is no garbage patch.
lmfao yeah and the earth is flat too, right? Go home, loser. You're ignorant.
I've been following this for a long time. I'm very excited that it's finally almost underway. Thank you for seeing this project through, it will benefit everyone very much, and already has.
Monumental! I’m anxiously hoping for a successful test and ultimate deployment of System(s) 001. Mother Earth is in all likelihood, your Number 001 Fan!
a m a z i n g p r o j e c t ! ! ! ! ! they deserve the true Oscar!
You’re an inspiration Boyan. Excellent work, worthy of something like a Nobel prize.
A risk not mentioned is the possibility of collision with a vessel. I don’t think I’d want my 30ft yacht ploughing into that at 8 knots on a dark and stormy night. Might end up as plastic waste, itself! Is it fitted with AIS?
This is awesome. I love everything you guys are doing. I posted a video a little bit ago about the launch that I was so lucky to see in person today. Thanks for your commitment to cleaning the oceans. You rock!
Great Job! No War against Nature!!!!!!!!!!!
You are brave in the face of great difficulty, I support you.
I will be out on the bridge to see history. Good luck and god speed.
Thank you for starting a change.
Keep going! The Ocean NEED YOU 🤞🤞
💌
Fantastisch gedaan Boyan! Nederland mag trots op je zijn.
good luck boyan! i'll be there to support you all at the launch!
Amazingly great idea, and a tremendously fast research and development cycle.
good luck on your journey! KUDOS young sir, love your work, trully amazing!
Great ! Thank You guys for the Amazing work You do
Can't wait! What time will it launch next saturday?
Great!
Good Job at finding away to fix this problem.
You are a world saver!
Man more people should see this
Thank you 🙏
ThankYou Boyan
You people are great!
Outstanding and good luck
I believe it will work. Good luck, guys!
If this works - I hope it does - this guy should get a Noble or some really high recognition for this service to 'earth'kind.
awesome cause, and a great job hope it all goes well
Already awesome! Go TOC!
Waiting for the next video on the trial !!
I hope everything goes like a clock for you sir , my respect and thanks , i wish i could work in theis proyect is so cool.
good luck fingers crossed!
Thank U
I am Indian , i like your work 👍👍👍
What do you plan to do with the garbage once you have collected it?
A thermaldepolomizer could be used to convert the plastic back into oil for use as fuel and lubricants.
Recycling the plastic might offset your operating costs.
Fingers crossed👍
I speak a litle bit english. I have see today the RUclips video “simplicissimus - wie man die größte müllhalde der welt aufräumt“. Thats a cool idear. I wisch you and your team many luck for the mission.
Wahoo Yeah!
T H A N K Y O U !!! From the bottom of my heart.
wow, great idea! (Y)
How quickly does it collect surface plastic and foam? With high winds most will be blown over the edge and skipped or you'll see trash on both sides for sure on these rigs.
If it captures just 1% of the plastic it passes it'll eventually get it all - it's not like it takes lunch breaks or annual vacation.
Hey The Ocean Cleanup! I was wondering if you guys had any info on how you won’t catch or harm any of the ocean MARINE LIFE?? Will any fish or anything get CAUGHT in the netting?
I really hope this works out but honestly I believe the chances that this first system fails are very high. However the real world data it will provide us with will allow you to build better systems in the future.
True . The system could fail , yes , but the total project is a huge succes . At least somebody had the courage to do something and put the problem on the map , not being scared to fail . We have a start !
As i said in the second part. If this system doesn't work then the data provided by this system will be more than enough to build a working system.
I am super thankful for the work of those guys. cleaning up the oceans is one of the most important tasks of my generation.
Nay sayer. BOO HISS! Be optimistic!
aullik Won’t matter if it fails because there is no “garbage patch” in the Pacific Ocean to begin with.
depends on what you call a "garbage patch". There is most definitely no connected mass of plastic. That is obvious and everyone with more than 50iq should know that. However there is a concentration of plastic in this area and this is what is called the pacific garbage patch which is confirmed by many scientific sources.
These guys are doing great work. However, I predict that they will end up adding some autonomous tugboats to keep the net where they want it. Such an addition should be a minimal investment considering what they’ve done so far.
You’ll never know if it truly works unless you put a real size model in the ocean.
Weedy Gonzalez It’s not going to work as intended because the “garbage patch” is a hoax and does not exist.
It was actually launched today.
I can't wait to see how the plastic is be removed for the water and then ultimately disposed of.
If this first step is a success, the volume of waste will be so large that it will not be able to be hauled to shore. Ultimately a system like the Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System on-board the USS Gerald R. Ford will be required.
Jack Patteeuw the plastic can, and should be used to manufacture clothing and other products. It’s a HUGE money maker. All countries should mandate recycling, or heavy fines, and offer it FREE OF CHARGE! It has to start on land my friends!
Orney Oh - All plastics are not suitable to be spun into thread and cloth.
Jack Patteeuw I know this. There are many uses that plastics can be reused though. I'm hopeful there'll eventually be technology to vacuum the ocean floor, which is where micro plastic settles. The toxins have entered our food chain, and also our drinking water. It's awful. #ReduceReuseRecycle
Ornery Oh - Plastics that can be reused/recycled have to be separated from plastics that can not. On land, this is typically done by land. Completely impractical on the ocean.
Jack Patteeuw I know this as well. I’m pretty sure Boyan plans to take the hauls of plastic to land, to be separated and reused.
Great idea. Tons of science (I guess development funds too). Perhaps not that much practicality.
Sad that it got to the point where these are needed
I’m so excited! Is there technology to clean up the ocean floor of micro plastics that’s now in the human food chain and killing marine life and sea birds?
Your comment reminds me of "The Plastic Ocean". I highly recommend you watch it.
A Plastic Ocean*
Esteban Peral I’ve seen it. Your point?
This is great, we all can continue to dump our plastic cups in the ocean without feeling guilty.
keep on fighting the good fight with the time we have left ABRUPT climate change
philip schwartz Global Warming is fake.
Risk? I think you mean to to say "challenge".
โอ๊ยยยยยยยยย!! I still be angry and feel bad for you, you get! 😐
Boyan Slat looks like a grown up Chucky the doll. Lol
and that's coming from the world's hottest person, such as yourself? So hot majority of your country talks about you? if not shut up, attention seeker and find your purpose in life!
@@iamURHO shit I'm a fat ugly person who's in love with myself. I know my purpose. Bitch
said GarbageDanks , heavily irritated.....
omg
1:45 he gets very close to admitting that it doesn't hold plastic. Turns out that it doesn't. Cool video bro, but all you did was move plastic around for a month.
Have faith in God, every luck Will be with you
Wouldn't it be simpler to just go to where this plastic is entering the ocean and collect it there? Make a huge garbage boom that would surround the sources of the garbage and keep it from migrating any further, that way when the garbage starts to pile up on the beaches the governments involved would have to act to improve their infrastructure. I guess they would be able to tell the difference, but maybe not.
Waste of time. I hope I see a bunch of yellow rain slickers floating face down in the ocean.
