Fund the continuation of the cleanup with The Ocean Cleanup sunglasses Help Clean Close banner THE LARGEST CLEANUP IN HISTORY WE DEVELOP ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO RID THE OCEANS OF PLASTIC Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans, of which the majority spills out from rivers. A portion of this plastic travels to ocean garbage patches, getting caught in a vortex of circulating currents. If no action is taken, the plastic will increasingly impact our ecosystems, health, and economies. Illustration of The Ocean Cleanup cleanup process WE AIM TO CLEAN UP 90% OF FLOATING OCEAN PLASTIC POLLUTION The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization developing advanced technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. To achieve this objective, we have to work on a combination of closing the source and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean and doesn’t go away by itself. This goal means we plan to put ourselves out of business – once we have completed this project, our work is done.*
CLEANING
THE OCEAN
The Ocean Cleanup is developing a passive cleanup method, which uses the natural oceanic forces to rapidly and cost-effectively clean up the plastic already in the oceans. With a full fleet of cleanup systems in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, we aim to clean up 50% of its plastic every five years.Learn more

INTERCEPTING
IN RIVERS
The Ocean Cleanup has developed the first scalable solution to efficiently intercept plastic in rivers before it reaches the oceans. By tackling 1000 rivers around the world, we aim to halt 80% of plastic from entering the oceans in five years from rollout.Learn more
