The Start of the Cleanup

The day has come to celebrate the beginning of the end of the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch. On Wednesday, October 20^th, The Ocean Cleanup welcomes back the offshore crew after a successful 12-week testing campaign in the Pacific that has led to proof of technology for our ocean cleanup design. With System 002 and plastic onboard, we will take a brief pause at the Victoria Harbor to celebrate the dedication of our team and supporters before returning to the patch. There is no time to waste – cleanup is possible and it is imminent. We can do this – and we invite you to join us.

Watch the livestream at 1 PM PST | 4 PM EST | 10 PM CEST on October 20^th.
