Well done Boyan and OceanCleanup Team. Who could have thought that a dip in Greek waters, Boyans great ideas, so many helping hands would bring this wonderful news today. Cleaning up sea and rivers anno 2019. Thank you, thank you, thank you on behalf of worlds' inhabitants.
Congratulations! Thank you for all your dedication to make this happen...for us, each one of us. We can approach this in many ways, but collecting it from where we can't reach was a huge problem until YOU came in. I feel so optimistic and excited.
Agreed! We need pollution and trash recovery in all parts of the manufacturing industry and around the oceans, maybe a lot more closer to coastlines, but to be able to price that they could collect where it was considered impossible, really makes the non-believers quiet now!
LOL,,,,,90% of all the world plastic pollution comes from Asia and Africa. Until you stop all these third world SHITZEN holes from purposely dumping all their garbage and human waste into the oceans faster than you can clean it up you are wasting more resources, money and man hours for nothing. They are dumping garbage in the oceans by the millions of tons and these clean up efforts are counting the pick up in pounds.
The world needs to stop producing single use plastic. All new plastic products need to be made from recycled materials. All plastic needs to be recycled.
That's funny and impossible at this current state. Single-use plastic is probably always going to be used, though we can reduce the amount we use by a massive amount and we can recycle much better too. Though to achieve this we need new ideas, laws, and infrastructure put into place.
I feel so honoured to have been here since the beginning. I'm only 29, but I added you guys to my will and will keep it updated to always include the planet!
We're humbled that you have chosen to include us in your legacy, but at only 29 years of age, we certainly hope that it will be a very long time until it reaches us!
Wow this is a fantasic start. I live on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand. Just around the corner from home we have remote beaches. I always take a bag with me & remove rubbish from beaches & from rivers. Dont collect heaps but the little I remove will help I feel. Everyone is responsible for there waste. Let's hope individuals learn, education to all people helps. Keep up the wonderful work. Thank you 😊
I’ll be purchasing something when they’re ready. I want to support and get people talking more about this. This is the everyday accessible ways regular folks can really help.
Wow, it should be shared, you doing one awesome work for recicle and help the ocean. Congratulations for your work, every country should have this technology. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
U.N could finally got off their arse, skip organizing even couple of their annual meetings & cocktail parties. Divert those funds to build 100 of these systems
Even after seeing these videos several times it gets me every time! So exciting and heartening it makes me not losing hope. Thank you and i wish i could contribute more towards your mission to save the waters and thus humanity. Formidable!
No tengo mucho dinero pero les doy like, ademas mi familia se ha unido a su canal y trato de hablar de su labor y ejemplo cuando me dejan. Hace poco fuimos al mar y mis chicos instintivamente recogieron la basura que les fue posible, es porque ven a personas maravillosas como ustedes. Dios los bendiga y larga vida a The ocean cleanup.💖
great to see! kudoes! now the next part. you have the interceptors already built. aka a barge that will scoop up stuff from the water and package it. so that can be adapted to making another type of barge which makes packages, attaches small motors, a gps unit, sails, solar panels etc. and then it gets plopped in the water to go home to a collection port or point. no need to send ships to collect to each individual boom. it can take the slow path home as long as it gets there eventually.
China and India are the reason the ocean is in the state it is. Until they actually become environmentally aware as a culture the problem will never be solved
I think I am much more impressed and excited about the interceptors system in major polluting rivers, this seem way too costly for the results. Also I agree that we should stop producing single use plastic but more importantly we should be careful about collecting and processing trash before it goes in the ocean or in nature. If trash is contained in designated area or burn it's really already much better than what most poor countries with no infrastructure do, which is just let it enter rivers stream or being left in nature.
Troy Walt Ocean Clean Up also had a autonomous machine to collect trash from the most polluted river in the world, preventing those trash going to the ocean.
Troy Walt Both are needed I think. It is a symbiosis. In the ocean they also collect ghost nets. As for processing trash....in the USA they are still not burning trash to generate electricity like we do in Europe, but dumping it in wastelands (nature) where plastic will live on for ever.
@@ronkalkhoven2119 sure but it s already way better since the plastic is dumped in specific places, in some poor countries it is literally scattered everywhere and that s how it ends up in the ocean and in nature.
Troy Walt what we need is a way to reuse or safely dispose plastic because burning it is just another form of pollution. I read somewhere about how some people have been researching this bacteria that actually consumes plastic aka no pollution
This is amazing. However we could really really use something like this, not only in the gyres in the open ocean but near shorelines of the most polluting countries, before it hits the far ocean.
Well done folks on this laudible system, I wonder why the big corporations never did anything about their packing. The plastic could be used for roof and floor tiles, car parts like bumpers, builders products and even to make fashionable clothing. You are the start of something really big I hope.
Well done to The Ocean Cleanup Team as a whole, this is definitely a success! The system should be intertwined with the same financial structures/instruments as "On-Land" Waste Management services whereby citizens pay certain levies/taxes towards garbage removal. The concept is the same, just different landscapes and conditions.
Maybe you can let the community vote on different ideas for products made from this? Like give us a suggestion of 20 possibilities to see which product has the most demand and therefore will give the fastest boost to this operation! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the suggestion and support! While this would be an exciting idea, as we are still in the process of differentiating the various types and quality of the plastic that we collected from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch during Mission One, we would not want the community to vote on products that end up not being possible. You can join us on the plastic journey to find out what the material is like, and what the product will be here: products.theoceancleanup.com
Brilliant! Such complex issues. Thank you for making the effort. “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” Not sure who said that first, but I said it just now and wish to add that you lads are part of the solution. A tiny suggestion for a micro-solution: What if the homeless would be reimbursed for all the plastic trash they bring to a depot, as they currently are reimbursed for cans and bottles? And yes, homelessness is a worse insurmountable problem (worse because precious individual souls are lost. Anyone who might argue about this would do well to come up with a workable solution for it instead.) Poverty and ignorance are bedfellows. In Zanzibar we saw blue fields - blue because they are covered with discarded shopping bags. Their disposable shopping bags were (at that time) blue, very pretty, but devastating on fields, in streams, on streets. We were warned not to set foot in Lake Victoria - it is dreadfully polluted with bacterias our bodies may not withstand - nor to swim in the Indian Ocean off Zanzibar’s beautiful beach by the hotel, next door to a refinery. Looking forward to the days when garbage in Canada will be burned in the kinds of high efficiency burners with filters used in countries with little land for garbage dumps. I have heard of the remaining ash being mixed with asphalt to make roads.
I love that this is being done, but it's a just a tiny drop in the ocean (pun intended). The scale of what they are facing is huge, even more so when you think of the constant flow of plastics into the water.
Another long time plastic recycle has been going here in Brisbane ,Australia where shoppers take back to the Large “Coles Supermarket Chain Stores “ the plastic soft scraps in which they’re made into bench seats. They’re solid and durable , weather resistant, possibly even other items recycled. Once cost is attached, there s a glitch - Rich get richer the poor get the picture !! If recycled plastic could be moulded into outdoor bench tables with attached seating, this product mass made would slowly catch up to processing costs putting one back in the black of cost effectiveness .
This is great. Could you consider putting these operations at the mouth of or upstream of major rivers? Obviously, to prevent it from hitting the oceans, but to also make the source country responsible.
This news has made my year! I will donate again after the holidays. CONGRATULATIONS OCEAN CLEANUP! GOD BLESS YOU. The sea creatures will eventually get a better chance for life without so much plastic in their bellies. i am so happy.
only way to collect it all after multiple, large systems are deployed is to have a large ship on station to collect and perhaps begin the recycle process. Yes?

Thank YOU - without supporters like you we wouldn't be where we are today!
Boylan and team, I have been following your exciting initiative since 2014 - such a proud day! Congratulations and well done all of you!
This should be funded with contributions from all the world's governments.
In the UK we pay for our plastic shopping bags, I assume and require that it covers the mean cleanup cost.
It should be funded by the companies that have produced the plastic and have profited off of this pollution.
LOL,,,,,90% of all the world plastic pollution comes from Asia and Africa. Until you stop all these third world SHITZEN holes from purposely dumping all their garbage and human waste into the oceans faster than you can clean it up you are wasting more resources, money and man hours for nothing.

2003evodave - that trash comes from first world countries who SEND it to third world countries. We are all the problem.
Agreed!
I love you all so very much! You are the best folks, the people we need so much right now! Congratulations!
More people need to see this...EVERYBODY needs to see this.

Though to achieve this we need new ideas, laws, and infrastructure put into place.
Also, plastics cannot be recycled indefinitely, They normally degrade with every recycle until it cannot be used anymore.
Sjors Bamboo is a good replacement in many cases.
@@William_Reader That Not impossible at all. Jaden Smith has already made something to substitute plastic!
@Sjors YES - good use for some recycled paper that can not make better quality paper products.
Thank you for your work! The future of our species is in your hands
Congratulations! You guys give us all hope.
The future of ocean health is now brighter thanks to the Ocean Clean Up team. Well done.
imagine the day when we go to the garbage patch and its totally clean
To see this actually happening is amazing ❣️
I think it's really great that there are people who are committed to something like this!
Awesome, thank you for all!

Such a good project! This is really amazing! You have my 100% support! 😊👍
This makes me so incredibly happy 😭
This gives me hope...
Amazing results, Now for scaling up Quickly!! Both the clean up system and the interceptors

Hey everyone just watch out for the troll here
Make SUP a thing of the past and give Boyan a Nobel prize.
Already looking forward to getting my first oceaan product!
That's fantastic, well gone guys! Looking forward to see more of this systems around one day, hopefully soon
Started to donate monthly today. Keep up the good work!
THIS IS BETTER THEN A MOVIE! Amazing. these peope have legacy
This guy should be nominated for a Nobel Prize
If US deploys 10 percent of their Navy and Navy's budget, ocean would be clean in one year.
Harris Avaan Sounds good, but do not underestimate that others will pollute it again at another rate.
China should participate. They solely pollute the ocean with plastic more than any other country.
China and India are the reason the ocean is in the state it is. Until they actually become environmentally aware as a culture the problem will never be solved
@@R3l3ntl3sss 100%
@@hito6464 Easy to blame China considering we're the ones consuming all the shit they make and shipping our waste there...
Good work guys.
I sure am pulling for your success!! Keep up the great work for our future generations!
Excellent update, keep up the good work!
Great work, kudos to everyone working on this.
This is great why is this not viral??? Boost this video!!! This is so important!!!
You should be awarded with the Nobel Price of Peace and Medicine. Both.
Keep up the great work guys! Boyan is the Person of the year in my books!

I think all of us can support this mission, together we can do A LOT, but one to one it is not possible!
If everyone does a little, it all adds up to a lot. Together, we can make a difference!
