The Ocean Cleanup Bags Its First Lot of Trash

Unsustainable

The good news is that The Ocean Cleanup, a project envisioned in 2012 by a Dutch teenager, has finally started operations and hauled in its first 60 bags of trash , captured by a floating U-shaped barrier in the Pacific Ocean. The plan is to find a way to recycle the recovered plastics so that the project begins to pay for itself.
