This is what 9000kg of ocean plastic looks like inside the retention zone and on deck.
It’s no longer in the ocean, and next week, we’ll bring it to shore so it can’t pose a threat to the environment ever again.
BREAKING: the final test of System 002 is completed, and we have another big catch on deck. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned.
The crew is already sorting the catch, and lots of information is still to be processed. Stay tuned!
Great day for a ride, & oh what a ride!

The plan had been to do a relaxed 35-40 miles. Then, enroute, we met-up with a couple of groups of @LeBlanqTour riders (including @SirWiggo), & they invited us to tag along. It turned out pretty well! 🤘

That's it, it's done.
140km every day for 31 days.
4000km and hours of cycling around my day job and kids.
All in aid of @thepacecentre and kids with motor disorders. What a challenge, not better reason why

Ghost nets collected in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch have been transformed into The Ocean Cleanup sunglasses. As we aim for minimal waste in our operations, we are currently investigating the possibilities to recycle the rigid plastics we collected. Any ideas?
Our team was just in the North Sea to test and observe plastic transport and retention within the system.
With promising results, we plan to return to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch next year to validate the design’s ability to capture, retain, and extract plastic at scale.
Excited to officially launch SW Coaching! 🚨 🏊🏻♂️ 🚲 🏃🏻♂️
