- Interceptor 003, the last of the 2nd generation Interceptors to be assembled and installed, has been cleaning the Can Tho River, Vietnam since December 2021. Deploying Interceptors is a group effort, so we are grateful for all the input and support we get from locals, partners, and operators.
Can Tho Rivers runs through the city center and feeds into the Bassac River (locally known as the Hậu River). The unique conditions of this location, such as the heavy boat traffic and varying currents, will help us to trial the design in exceptional situations and better understand the technology while the river program is in the Validation Phase.

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. 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.

Would be absolute crazy if you could start a livestream that always streams from one of the interceptors around the world! If it gets dark for Interceptor 004, switch to Interceptor 003 and if it gets dark there switch to Interceptor 002 in Malasia! Would be absolutely insane! Keep it up guys!
That would be a great idea. Probably generating a steady revenue stream from donators.
additionally highlights of catches would interest many!
I guess - us with the phones on watching live stream while cooking, showering, relaxing- would burn our batteries constantly - and on a big scale as many as we are supporting this cause - would attribute to another pollution.. So no live stream please 🙌
Thank you so much for making a difference. It’s so inspiring and a wake up call to see how polluted rivers are. As a Vietnamese, so excited to see Inceptor 003 deploying in Can Tho. I was cleaning up the beach with a group of friends the other day and the biggest learning from the trash collected was the micro plastics and the amount of filter tips buried in the sand.
Hope to see this project gain more tractions in local news in coming months.
Some people in the comments said it’s useless since people will continue to dump trash and things will be back to square one.
But I think the younger generations, many of us now are a lot more environmentally concious and are taking actions. Strong believer in education and raising awareness!
Big kudos to you Ocean Clean Up team!
Filter tips?
@@jessicawoods814 From cigarettes.
@@colleeneggertson2117 hmm ok I didn’t realize it those were so prevalent
I'm so happy to see this happening in Vietnam. The trash that's in the river as well as everywhere else is astonishing. Always wish they had anti pollution commercials and education in schools about the effects of population in Vietnam
You are absolutely right, there should be more commercials and awareness brought by the schools I am in Vietnam now joining the family for the holidays, but you see it everywhere but the younger generation is also aware of it
Thank you for your attention in my country❤️❤️❤️
It's absolutely really great seeing the biggest ocean cleanup company helping to improve the ocean life and perhaps the world maritime economy. I'll love to see more of your videos. Great kudos to boyan slat.
I'm so excited for the longterm effects on all the work you all are doing. Definitely a brighter future ahead!!
This is touching, and powerful, and important. Thank you for being involved, and thank you for the moments with the people we would never have heard or seen without you.
Good people doing a very important job! Thank you for sharing the deployment of interceptor 003.
Thank you Ocean Cleanup worldwide. Good luck and stay safe
There are no words to thank you for your great work.
Countries with significant amounts of plant material mixed into the river waste stream could use this as fuel in waste to energy systems. An interceptor collecting 20 tons of material daily could produce several MW of electricity. Water hyacynth is already being considered as an excellent candidate for bio fuels as it is produced very easily in polluted environments and readily converts to methane for clean electricity production.
Very forward looking, by giving these a three digit number.
It is really great what you do. I would love to see more and longer videos about the Interceptors at work. But hopefully the local people will stop throwing chemicals into the river as well.
chemicals cost money. the one throwing away must be put into contact with the person that wants it.
It's not always locals, often international corporations utilising cheap labour and lack of health and safety requirements
The Can Tho can though
BRILLIANT! Forward on, with Jakarta, Lagos, Manila, and Rio!
Thank you for what you do we are all depending on you lot please save us all
Hope to see the places the machines going to become much better and full of life
I’m waiting for the Nobel Prize. This is beautiful.
Awesome Boyden and all staff members of Ocean clean up...thx n prayers
It is great to see it working so well.
i love these updates
Please keep it up guys, hopefully this becomes and absolute standard around the world. Best of luck!!
Interceptor 003 Team for the Win, congrats to all involved! Keep it up
Fantastic job you guys are doing. I hope there will be a real good economics of scale with many of these systems.
This is great, quick question though. What % of the waste collected is organic? Also is collecting the organic waste on the top of the rivers good for the eco systems? I hope future models can filter organic and plastic waste, that way the bins don’t have to be collected as often and they can collect more trash
Here on our Kaboomed canals up to 2/3rds or more can be natural debris during storms. We remove the plastics and trash then release the natural debris to the ocean like it has been for millions of years.
Just a note: the organic part in this case shouldn't be a problem since the Eichhosirnia, basically these floating plants, multiple extremely quickly. When they die, the waste poison the water, killing biodiversity. When they clog the stream in canals, mosquitoes breed, spreading malaria and dengue. You can never remove them all, and too much of them cause as much damage as algae blooming
@@TropicalOceanCleanup Thanks for the response!
The plant you're seeing most in this video is the water hyacinth, which is considered invasive and is a problem for the general ecosystem as well. Agreed that finding a way to sort the waste is good but in this case, removing this isn't bad either.
It's helped our country a lot. Thank you
You guys are literally legendary
Amazing work!
keep up the great work!
I went there for a development project and learnt that they use chemicals from the moving boat to destroy the plants that you see on the interceptor in order to navigate.
Removing those plants is a plus since it reduces the chemicals used to remove them.
This is great to see these interceptor units getting deployed. At some point bigger changes need to be made. It is sad that this is a problem that will not change without a drastic change in packaging laws, governments imposing fines for littering and outright polluting waterways and streets. The planet was quite perfect just a few generations ago. For anyone involved, you are the hope.. Thank you
It would be great if an Interceptor can be deployed in the Ganges river. It'll probably need to be retrofitted with a built in crematorium.
In addition to plastic, many plant parts also end up in the interceptor. What happens to them? Is it composted or returned to the river?
Yeah, river hyacinths are a huge problem in the region. The fact that's it's picking up so many is a great added bonus to cleaning up the trash 😄
but still, those plants interfere with recycling. i also would like to know how they impact the whole process
It's cool that the interceptor is also removing the invasive river plants as well 🤣
/cheer! Clean soil, clean water, and clean air.
Pollution: You can't live here.
Ocean Cleanup: You Can Tho.
Plastic waste is disgusting. People need to take pride in their homes, neighborhoods, community and the planet.
Countries around the world should pay to have these built.

thanks, you and the folks you work with!
Keep up this important work
That looks like a good scenic place. It deserves better than to be covered in trash.
This is amazing and wonderful to see!
If the people don’t stop throwing thrash in the water systems the trash will never ever stop!!! People are awesome!!
These guys have a real Tan Do attitude.
Thank you very much!
Keep it up ! Doing GREAT !
Your doing a fantastic job ocean cleanup 👍😊
Does the waste get sorted out later? are the organics composted in any way or is everything taken to a landfill etc ?
I have been asking same for years. Seems they take everything, natural debris and everything...weigh it then who knows what after that ..secret.
@@brianmcnamara5890 So many asking for full circle process. I am a small fry in comparison but have long videos showing stopping plastics and trash with our river trash Kabooms, extraction, segregation and show where it all goes. But we don't remove natural debris and weigh it also, we let it go into the ocean like it has for millions of years.
@@brianmcnamara5890 Thanks for the encouragement. End goal? To stop plastics and trash from getting into the ocean now, not years from when I started.
Boyan for Nobel prize. End of.
Such satisfying work!
Would be cool to see live feeds of all the garbage getting taken out of the lakes and oceans! 😁😄
This is great as far as the rate at which it can collect, the set up and location as another country in Southeast Asia is a good place to have it. There are a few things here though.
-How much of what is coming in is organic waste because it seems almost half here is that plant or coconuts? I hope this is separated out and dried out in the sun and then composted if it's a noxious weed.
-Partnering with Coca Cola? Did I read that correctly? That company makes more plastic bottles than any and all for an unhealthy drink. They have to partner with you from their perspective because they know they've made a mess but they can't be part of the solution.
-I'd like for these videos to show the next step in the collection process, recycling? I know that some of these countries struggle with that kind of infrastructure. It would be great to see how it's done. Or is it similar to the ocean ones where it's separated and sent back to Europe?
Amazing! great job guys
Great work, great cause.
So awesome!
It’s really fantastic what you are doing. I hope that educating the people about dumping trash into the river is not right. Infrastructure also is key to the success of the program.
Love it! Way to go Team Ocean Cleanup!
Me and my family just went there!
Please deploy another one here in the Philippines.
Is there any plan in deploying those in India?
Multiple rivers in India are among the 1000 most polluted rivers in the world. Working together with governments, companies, and the scientific community, we aim to deploy our Interceptor Solutions in these rivers in coming years. Take a look at our map: theoceancleanup.com/sources/
Great work......Good job ....
I've been wondering where 003 was. Nice to finally see it!
Good work keep safe
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Ocean cleanup crew, you are finally in Vietnam! Now how do you filter out the heavy metals!
Great work❤
I hope there’s an interceptor in Bangladesh some day
LOVE THIS!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Is it possible to see videos with the numbers of the Interceptors after working one year? It will be good to see your evolution and hard work! 😃
Great!!
Yes! Some good news!
The European Union should sponsor your project!
Interceptors are not designed to detect type of trash they pickup, right? Detecting biomass and removing it from the plastic trash flow would significantly lower maintanance costs, right?
One step at a time, the interceptors are a proof of concept
Sorting the trash can probably only feasibly happen after collection, at an industrial scale on land.
Awsome
Awesome ! 😊
First! Also great job! Keep up the great work! Hoping to go to different places etc.
Looks great, you guys!
from the clips there does not seem to be much plastic and didn't see one plastic bottle. the organic materials could have been removed with a cheaper method surely. hope ocean cleanup holds firm to their original goals.
Can you make one that detects pollution like chemicals fertilizers and micro plastic.
You don't need to collect it but read it and find out why and see if it can be stopped.
Thoughts.
I hope all the bio waste makes it to a composing program.
Great work!
perfect
Will you guys one day deploy another interceptor in the Citarum river, the most polluted river in the world ?
I thought, that was the Yamuna.
As you can see in our most polluted rivers map (theoceancleanup.com/sources/), the Citarum river is among the 1000 rivers that we aim to clean within five years from the commencement of the Interceptor scale-up.
@@theoceancleanup Fantastic, can't wait
You should bring one of the interceptors to River Nile in Cairo, it is probably the most polluted river in the world.
Egypt is on our list of countries to visit in the near future. Visit the dashboard on our website to keep up with our current deployments and future plans.
@@theoceancleanup Awesome, keep up the good work.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ridiculous that COVID slowed the progress as how much more essential can it be to get garbage out of your water and food supply.....
That's great but where would they put the trash after collecting? The infrastructure isn't available for ongoing large trash collection.
We work along with partners to recycle the plastic and transform it into durable products. This helps to achieve our aim of giving the plastic a new life and employing 100% of the proceeds to fund future ocean cleanups. Learn more here: theoceancleanup.com/faq/what-will-you-do-with-the-plastic-once-its-extracted-from-the-oceans/
7t with all the plants and wood, or just 7t plastic? Looks like half of it is not plastic and since plastic is much lighter than green plats, its part of the overall weight would be even smaller...
Whoop Whoop!
Surprised they make the interceptors in Rotterdam and ship them, wouldn't it be easier to provide plans to local partners, or make them open source, so people can just make them in local market with local materials.
Does the waste go to waste-to-energy plants?
What is done with the river waste varies by country, as the responsibility for the waste management in rivers belongs to the operators of the Interceptors. Learn more here: theoceancleanup.com/waste-management-and-recycling/
I love this but in some cases like this, one Interceptor doesn’t make a dent in river pollution. You need a fleet, a dozen, spread over a couple miles, to really clean it up.
They didn't just close their eyes and pin the tail on the donkey. They understand pollution more than any other organization in the world. I think it's safe to trust they've taken the time to maximize their interceptor locations.
That's why their government should review the data and expedite this operation on their water to clean up the waste. Demand and production rate should hopefully then increase
Does the interceptor 003 distinguish between plants and trash in this location? Do the living plants get returned to the water?
@@KimS_Pictureinpa The water hyacinths there are ALWAYS coming back. They live in all rivers of Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand AND also the Philippines.
It"s about not letting the trash get to the ocaan. For cleaning the rivers you will need to educate the locals around the rivers and develop the infrastracture.
👏👏👏👏
Maybe can go to India or Bangladesh next place?
What about all of the plants that are being removed?
please deploy an interceptor in the Philippines' Pasig River 🙏🙏🙏
How long is it going to take to build and install 1000 to cover the 1% of rivers? Is there a large scale production plan to do them in parallel?
I just saw an interview where Boyan Slat said the target for 2022 is about 25 additional interceptors. So it will take decades at this pace. Let's hope they get more support so they can move faster.
~ ⚪Please nominate Boyan Slats for the NPP Nobel Peace Prize ~
Wanna see you guys in India really soon!!! Keep up the good work ✨
Why doesn't your country make the interceptors themselves?
Change the water color to ew to clear
These people need to be funded by all governments this is the best idea yet all governments want to just support renewable energy blah blah
Why the thing is 4 small containers? And not 1 big container or has this to do with weight and trash built up?
Because can you not bassicly built q big container on work platform that you move with a boat for a cheap solution
