This is not AI. These are two of our nine Interceptors stopping trash from entering the Caribbean Sea in Kingston, Jamaica:

Our work to end plastic pollution in the Gulf of Honduras: from Interceptor Trashfence deployment and failure in 2022, to intercepting over 23,600,000 kg of trash to date.

What's the progress on our ocean operations? We just completed the first drone tests to help us locate plastic hotspots in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

We plan to cut ocean plastic pollution from rivers by up to one-third by 2030. How? By tackling the most polluted cities worldwide.

Interceptor deployments in Mumbai, India, coming up. This is how we map waterways in a city to determine the most effective Interceptor deployment location:

LATEST: The Ocean Cleanup just announced the next big step in scaling Interceptor deployments worldwide: a 30-city program to cut ocean plastic pollution from rivers by up to one-third by 2030. Read more here: theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-...

Is it worth it to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? We conducted a Net Environmental Benefit Assessment to answer this question. Read our findings ⬇️

121 truckloads of trash won’t end up in the Caribbean Sea, thanks to Interceptor 006.

We intercepted another trash tsunami in Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala. 🇬🇹 Interceptor 006 consists of two barriers: a blue one upstream ( here before & after trash extraction):

Behind the scenes- currently installing a new Interceptor in Jamaica 🇯🇲

Interceptor catch results for the first quarter of 2025 are in, and it's looking promising. 🚀

We know the main origins of hard plastics found in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), but about half of the total plastic mass in the GPGP consists of fishing nets. Our Research team is now working to identify their origins by analyzing these nets based on their size, color, and polymer.

Shoutout to our local operators who keep Interceptor 019 (Bangkok, #Thailand) running!

Exciting #news: new river project location - #Panama. We have partnered with Marea Verde Panamá to tackle the waste flowing into the Bay of Panama through the capital's rivers. #theoceancleanup

We are on a mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. We do this in two ways: by removing legacy pollution from the oceans and intercepting it in rivers. Check out our operations, and follow our progress here and on our website: theoceancleanup.com
