At the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations today.

Not the type of environment I feel comfortable in. But: it’s encouraging to have seen the plastic pollution problem grow from something most people I spoke to hadn’t heard of to now being discussed by all countries on Earth.

Officially collected a sh*t-ton of trash.

Super thankful for all of you, our supporters, corporate and government partners, operators and of course the team for getting us to this point!

Next milestone to aim for = 100m kg

The Ocean Cleanup is currently testing System 03, a massive plastic pollution collection device that captures tons of floating debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

BREAKING: We just made our largest ever plastic catch. Interceptor 006 in the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, stopped 272 truckloads of trash - equal to 1.4 million kg (3.1 million lbs) - from flowing into the Caribbean Sea. All in a single evening.

LATEST: The first flush of 2024’s rainy season and Interceptor 006 is already preventing tons of trash from flowing into the Caribbean Sea from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala.

Will this be our largest river catch ever? Keep an eye on our channels while our crew works round the…

Don’t get me wrong: there’s a lot to love about Europe and living there.
But when you’re trying to pull off something that hasn’t been done before, a business culture that emphasizes risk over opportunities and structure over results is like what xenon does to a nuclear reactor.

Spending 24 hours in Silicon Valley has already recharged me with enough optimism to survive another 4 months of European pessimism.

Cool show about creating a future to look forward to.
