Giant barriers to keep waste out of the oceans

CONTEXT:

  • Sea Defence Solutions stops the flow of plastic before it reaches the sea, with a system of barriers that can catch garbage to send to recyclers.
  • Plastics that invade the sea, poisons the fish and birds entering the food chain and even the food we eat.
  • That’s why Boyan Slat, the young Dutch inventor who founded The Ocean Cleanup, wants to clean up the oceans.
  • But why not try to capture plastic waste before it reaches the sea? This would avoid the degrading effect of salt water, which crumbles it into micro-plastics.
