The Ocean Cleanup started removing plastic from the ocean a decade ago. But most of that plastic comes from rivers, so it started building solar-powered river cleaners to catch garbage before it goes out to sea. 00:00 Intro 01:26 Interceptor Process 03:08 Waste Issues in Santo Domingo 05:13 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch 06:20 Potential Issues 08:38 Conclusion | Insider Tech

Dutch Engineers Built a Giant “Ocean Vacuum” — A 600-Meter Floating System That Collects Tons of Plastic From the Sea Engineers from the Netherlands have developed a revolutionary ocean-cleaning system often described as a giant ocean vacuum. The technology consists of a 600-meter-long floating barrier that passively captures plastic waste as ocean currents naturally guide debris into a central collection point — without harming marine life. Developed by The Ocean Cleanup, the system uses no net
