A new step in our global partnership with Coldplay: a limited ‘Notebook Edition’ LP release of their latest album “Moon Music” will be made using river plastic we intercepted in the Rio Las Vacas in Guatemala.

Over ons
Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans – legacy plastic – isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated. The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization, designs and develops advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic by means of ocean cleanup systems and river interception solutions.

Ridding the world’s oceans of plastic is a massive mission. Can plastic-eating microbes help? Our recent research in collaboration with scientists from the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research reveals that a type of marine fungus (P. album) has the potential to degrade polyethylene by converting it into CO2. However, it does so at an extremely slow pace (~0.2 mg per year). Swipe through the carousel to learn more, and check out the link to the research paper in the comments below.
