Solar Boat Cleans Plastic Waste
The Ocean Cleanup has developed a system called the Interceptor to prevent plastic waste from entering the ocean via rivers, with a focus on Los Angeles’ Ballona Creek. The system, which can hold around 20,000 pounds of rubbish, collects debris using floating barriers and conveyor belts, and has already stopped over 143,000 pounds of waste from reaching the Pacific in 2025. Ocean Cleanup aims to expand its operations to other polluted rivers worldwide and focuses on addressing the primary sources of ocean plastic pollution by targeting key rivers responsible for most of the plastic entering the oceans.
