The Ocean Cleanup

The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization developing and scaling solutions to rid the oceans of plastic. To achieve this objective, we clean legacy pollution from the garbage patches as well as from coastal ecosystems, stop plastic flows from rivers or waterways, and advocate for stronger international plastic regulations. 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. We aim to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution by 2040. The Ocean Cleanup is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
