Our cleaning technologies are deployed around the world as we conduct the largest cleanup in history. For over ten years, The Ocean Cleanup has been researching, extracting, and monitoring plastic pollution in oceans and rivers globally – with tens of millions of kilograms removed to date.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of plastic enter the oceans, primarily from rivers. And the plastic that’s afloat within the oceans isn’t going away by itself. To effectively solve the problem, we need to both halt the trash flow from rivers, and remove legacy plastics from the oceans at the same time.

The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, is developing and scaling solutions to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. Our aim is to put ourselves out of business once the oceans are clean.

Today we work in 12 countries with 20+ Interceptor deployments collecting trash around the clock. We have intercepted more than 55 million kg's of trash.
