Great example of collaboration to deal with worldwide pollution... Our society is very efficient in supplying everyone with all kinds of magical products, to be consumed, but extremely bad in dealing with used Products. From technical point of view, it's no issue at all, just organise and pay for it. Cleaning the Ocean is the last resort of preventing legacy plastic pollution to exist into eternity, causing damage forever. Why doesn't society give the same attention to the reversed supply chain and keep precious products/materials/energy into circular economy, while preserving environment ?!... Cross-boundary Collaboration Is Key !

Cleanup 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040 Over the last ten years we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century, which feels like a grim prospect for our oceans. The Ocean Cleanup have an ambitious goal to remove the resulting waste from our oceans which is incredibly reassuring. While they work to reverse the damage done so far, it falls to us, at an individual level, to reduce our contribution to the problem through our reliance on single use plastics... https://lnkd.in/eV6CXyc

The pollution of our oceans poses not only a threat to marine life, but also ultimately to us.    By 2040, up to 37 million tonnes of plastic waste are expected to reach the oceans every year.   On World Cleanup Day,  think of how you can play your part in helping the environment.

🌊 The Ocean Cleanup Project System O3: Scaling Up to Tackle Plastic Pollution 🌊 🔵 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), located between California and Hawaii, has long been a focal point for plastic pollution. The Ocean Cleanup Project has been at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to combat this environmental crisis. The projects latest breakthrough: System O3. 🔵 What is System O3? System O3 is a cutting-edge ocean cleaning system designed, deployed, and operated by The Ocean Cleanup. It’s a critical step toward our mission of ridding the oceans of plastic. Here’s how it works: A floating barrier, approximately 2.2 kilometers (1.4 miles) long, is towed between two slow-moving vessels. This barrier captures plastic debris, preventing it from drifting further and causing harm to marine life. 🔵 Transitioning to System O3: The Blueprint for Scale-Up: System O3 represents a significant leap forward. Here’s why: Size Matters: System O3 is three times larger than its predecessor, System 002. This increased size allows it to capture much larger quantities of plastic. Cost Efficiency: By optimizing operational performance and increasing capture efficiency, we aim to reduce the cost per kilogram of plastic removed. The goal is to make ocean cleanup more economical. Blueprint for the Fleet: System O3 serves as the blueprint for scaling up. As we transition from successful trial systems to a full fleet, we’re focused on achieving maximum impact. 🔵 The GPGP Challenge: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch covers an area three times the size of France or twice the size of Texas. Cleaning this vast expanse requires a fleet of systems. System O3’s efficiency brings us closer to that goal.

🌍Its Earth Day today!🌍 This year’s theme is ‘Planet vs. Plastics’. Earthday.Org is aiming for a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040 and we can all help ♻️ Did you know that: 💚 Plastic accounts for 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 💚 Nearly 80% of all plastics humankind has ever created still exists in the environment and landfills. 💚 17% of the species affected by marine plastic pollution are on the red list of threatened species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Recycling solution that is effective!

The innovations by The Ocean Cleanup are commendable and critical in addressing the immediate crisis, but as the original author of this post rightly pointed out, they tackle the symptom and not the cause. The shift towards compostable materials is a crucial part of creating a sustainable cycle that benefits both humanity and the broader ecosystem. It's not just about cleaning up; it's about rethinking our relationship with waste. When items like packaging can contribute positively to the environment instead of polluting it, we're talking about a revolutionary shift in material science and consciousness. It might cost us a few cents more per bag or food item, but the long-term benefits — healthier ecosystems, less cleanup required, and the preservation of natural beauty — are priceless. The potential for materials like mycelium packaging and compostable plastics is vast, but it requires consumer demand, corporate responsibility, and regulatory encouragement. It's a collective effort — businesses need to prioritize these solutions and make them available, consumers need to demand and use them, and governments need to create the framework that allows compostable solutions to thrive. We're in this together, and with each step, we're building a world where future generations don't need to clean the mess we've left behind because the concept of 'waste' as we know it no longer exists.
