Excited to announce that @TheOceanCleanup is massively scaling up Interceptor projects in the coming years!
✅30 Cities.
✅Stopping up to 1/3rd of all plastic pollution flowing out of rivers globally.
✅All by 2030.
On October 11 we extracted the largest single catch for System 002 to-date; 10,086 kg of plastic removed from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch after only 6.5 days, bringing us to a total of 145,518 kg extracted so far.
The plastic in this 2018 video came from the river we’ll soon deploy Interceptor 004 in; the Rio Ozama. Proud to be working with the Dominican gov and our local partners in making this history!
At Interceptor 002 in Malaysia. Insane to see all the stuff that’s being taken out. Handbags, helmets + countless bottles and garbage bags... all of which now won’t be entering the ocean.
