To learn more about System 002’s performance in 2022, progress in the transition to System 03, and why we’re pausing cleaning operations for the winter, read our latest update: theoceancleanup.com/updates/system-002-signs-off-for-2022-redeployment-in-spring-2023/.
Did you ever thought about Waste to Energy? The Nordic countries emit zero carbon and zero toxins from burning waste, create electricity, create heat for homes and recycle any metals in waste loads.
@@toeknee5464 why are you posting this here and not to the company that make the nets or goverments that could bann them? Not saying your idea is wrong, but I think the resources for this change has to come from somewhere.
It’s amazing progress, but it’s also just a drop in the bucket. That’s 200 metric tons. There are over two MILLION metric tons of waste in the GPGP! Right now, it feels more like learning than making a tremendous change, but learning is very important. This is also where I break hard with the people who say “Well, we should just stop polluting in the first place”. Yeah, but it’s ALREADY THERE. And at the rate things are going, we’ll double it in another couple of decades. Think we can just stop putting plastic in the oceans in a mere two decades? I don’t. It’s not enough to be better in the future. We need to clean up the past (and present) as well. I feel the same about CO2… we have to go beyond “carbon neutral” and get to “carbon negative” in order to undo the damage. So working on carbon capture NOW is important, even if we’re still producing CO2.
@@markplott4820 True about mapping using drones. What I find fascinating in my own cleanup efforts is the groupings of certain like minded trash collecting in there own areas. For example: I find plastic bottles with plastic bottles. Styrofoam with Styrofoam… etc and everything has flushed into the stormwater system at different locations likely miles apart from each other. It seems The Ocean Cleanup finds more marine debris at these Ocean garbage patches then land based trash. The land based trash seems to blow back on shore in a lot of cases. That is what I find 🤔
@@stickysteve4766 It is quite the study. In my own cleanup efforts, I find the groupings of certain trash fascinating. Most of this stuff entered the watershed system miles apart from each other and end up in the same debris field…..
Guys you have shifted/improved the way you showcase your progress (I hope I could say OUR progress, working for you). All videos are educational, clear, showing new members of the team... EXCELLENT once more!
LOVE OCEAN CLEANUP!!! LOVE: Learning about the systems, watching the haul drop down on the deck, watching/hearing the brain power at work, ALL the video (from underwater, the air-THANKS DAN and team!), the future plans, etc. Knowing that it's more than collecting the garbage, but action towards a full circle solution. Your team of exceptional humans make me SO proud, starting with Boyan. To see how you all developed and continually improve your magnificent designs, shows just how brilliant the team is! The partnerships with the different sectors reflects on the teams ability to not only focus on the obvious, cleaning up the ocean, but to understand and take action for the future of disposing/recycling plastics. Ocean Cleanup makes it easy for the layman to follow, understand and then to WANT to take the little steps we all can take to help our environment. Ocean Cleanup just launched 007 at Ballona Creek in Los Angeles. I visit as often after a storm as possible. First haul was awesome! Wish there are real time camera access to see if it's working. Dan? Looking forward to more videos on 007! Looking forward to ALL new videos, keep 'em coming! THANKS OCEAN CLEANUP!!! 🥰😇🥰
Proudly donating any chance that I could get. Thank you Boyan and all of The Ocean Cleanup crew, for all the amazing work that you've done and continue to do.
Amazing work, well done all. It would be good to see you team up with organisations like OCN Namibia who on a daily basis rescue seals from plastic, fishing nets/lines, cotton clothing, the list goes on.
Well done to all at Ocean CleanUp. I can see your ships in the harbour in Victoria, BC from my living room window. No one wants to be in the Pacific during the winter months so enjoy your time back on land.
You guys are doing an OUTSTANDING job!!! So proud of the advancements you are making in the grand effort to rid the oceans of plastics. I am hopeful System 3 will be an even bigger success and you are able to find a way to shuttle containers full of highly compacted trash off of the tugs and onto transports back to the recyclers. Keeping these great inventions working hard to do what they do best. :)
The problem didn't occur overnight and certainly won't be solved overnight, if at all, while humans continue in our thoughtless ways. Good luck Ocean Cleanup. Stay positive and safe
problem is the Ocean Cleanup is the only one Doing this , and the only one Intercepting garbage going out to sea. now think of Every costal COUNTRY operating ocean Cleaning.
following that project since 7 or 8 years when the feasebility study was published. Love to see the success and the way it went with all the interceptors and catching/collecting systems so far. how nice would it be if there was a worldwide tax for fishing companies to pay to finance The Ocean Cleanup. Just a small percentage should help a lot. Greetings from germany!
Wow, oustanding job ! Your organisation definitly deserve more support. There is nothing like it , yet this is so necessary. I will follow your progress for sure.
I would much rather see interceptor stored for the winter than risk breaking the ship and spending even less time at sea. Keep doing the best you can you guys are awesome!
when I was at sea with the US Navy we would melt the plastics into discs that fit into 55 Gallon drums (to increase storage) before transferring them to a support vessel
This is really a great start!! And taking a winter break makes total sense. Now if there was just a way to try to get ignorant humans to not polluting the oceans.
You should put a big 200 kW shredder on one of the boats, sort it on shore later on based on density. 25 ton per haul is less than a full truck. Massively admire the initiative but feel like it's orders of magnitude off. The intercepters are a phenomenal addition, they should be obligatory in all the polluting country's.
In our household we have a commitment to not make your job as big. We have reduced our plastic waste/purchases to almost nothing. I wish we could somehow force companies to use alternative packaging.
I look forward to the day when we can trap plastics BEFORE they reach the ocean. I would think much more economical to remove the plastics before they reach the ocean. Love the work you’re doing. What an exciting life adventure - gives me a little more hope for life on this beautiful planet, Earth. What you’re doing IS the right thing!
Only God knows how much we still put in every year. Great business opportunity for these guys since the material is free and the job will never be done.
Thank you for all the hard work and rewards. It’s great to see the rewards. Hopefully you will be able to get some global help from Governments. This should be a collective sponsored effort. We have done it in space with the Space Station now let’s concentrate on the realities on earth. Please keep up your ground breaking efforts and leading edge research. You are truly inspiring.
Hello, I see every video of yours and I am so happy that it keeps getting better. If System 003 works next year, you won't have much space on the ships to store the plastic. Now the next step would be to learn from the ship industry again, as you have done before. In this case, to process the catch on the ship. Means in the long term to produce two or one own ship, where there is a sorting plant and a shredder under the roof. Then you don't have any granules yet, but you do have very small parts, which you can then stow away easily, so there is hardly any air in the gaps and you are sorted by type, which results in significantly better prices when selling. It can probably even be sorted by color.
Thank you kindly for the update.. the job you all are doing is magnificent and important to the hole humanty..👍❤️ Have a great and well deserved break and Verry Happy Holidays everyone.. 💕🤗💕
I am always amazed by how much life I see in these videos. It looks like they may be using the plastics as protection and homes. Still, it does not belong out there. Kudoes! Welcome back to shore and hope you have nice holidays with families.
yea I totally agree on that. I've even seen critics of this organisation saying exactly that, and it makes me think if they are really serious about it or just trying to make ocean clean up look bad. There should not be water bottles there in the first place and as faster we remove it from the ocean as faster ocean animals can recover.

Did you ever thought about Waste to Energy? The Nordic countries emit zero carbon and zero toxins from burning waste, create electricity, create heat for homes and recycle any metals in waste loads.
why arent they making biodegradable fishing nets maybe with a lifespan of a few years, banning traditional nets?
@@toeknee5464 why are you posting this here and not to the company that make the nets or goverments that could bann them? Not saying your idea is wrong, but I think the resources for this change has to come from somewhere.
Have you ever found something really expensive in the trash pulled from the Ocean? Like gold or money?
Almost 200,000kg, that´s insane! I wish you all the best for the next trashing season
the GOAL should be , not to create Marine waste is the FIRST place.

@@davestagner 2 million? Where did you get that number? This company says it's about 100.000 tonnes. That's a huge difference. What is your source?
@@johnnamkeh1290 Per wikipedia, there are about 2.7 million metric tons estimated. Where did this video say it’s only 100,000 tons?
@@davestagner That is not what Wikipedia says on the GPGP page. Maybe you have an estimate for the entire ocean?
I love watching how this project constantly evolves with the learnings from previous iterations. Well done team!
Studying the behavior of trash and plastics is a real science. Thank you for including us on your journey of learning and trying new techniques.
they use Drones to map the patches , then Dispatch ships to that location.

It's only "our progress", if you help cleaning up the environment. For instance by picking up litter in your own neighborhood.
Have a well deserved winter break and thank you immensely for what you all have achieved till now! 👏👏👏👍❤️🇳🇱
Thank you for all your doing. Everyone needs to donate. We are all contributing to this plastic issue!
This effort never fails to amaze me. Thank you for cleaning our oceans 🙏
Please keep up this great work. Humanity needs you.
Congratulations to the entire team, from the leadership to the employees on the boats, what a beautiful and important project. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷
