Over 10,000,000 kg (22 million lbs) of trash removed from oceans and rivers so far. "While we still have a long way to go, our recent successes fill us with renewed confidence that the oceans can be cleaned.": theoceancleanup.com/press/press-re….

Today, for the very first time, we will livestream a plastic extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Tune in at 6pm CET/ 9am PST/12pm EST here on X.

On Friday, we deployed and started testing our biggest cleanup system so far, System 002/C, at 1300m in length. We will ensure it's performing well before extending the system wings to the full 1750m.

Cleaning the Ocean, One Impossible Shot at a Time Very proud of this partnership with @GoPro , years in the making. Personally, it means a lot to be featured on GoPro because of my background in action sports. There are many ways to be a hero. youtube.com/watch?v=hkjObR…

We've just improved on our single largest System 002 catch record. On October 24, we extracted 10,755 kg of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch after less than five days.
