A new floating barrier called System 03 can clean up the area of a football field in just five seconds! The trash that's removed is sorted by crew members and recycled into new products. The company's mission is to clean up 90% of the plastic in the oceans by 2040.
This week we had our largest ever extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: 11,353 kg of plastic out of the ocean for good.

As we transition to System 03, we see that increasing system size leads to bigger catches. pic.twitter.com/5UcrpATHbi
