View onAs we are well into the testing with System 001/B in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Boyan sat with Technology Manager, Arjen Tjallema, at our headquarters in Rotterdam to discuss the complexities of iteratively designing and testing the cleanup technology in this particular offshore environment.
Although this does entail its challenges, we aim to reach proven technology with this system, but, regardless of the outcome, the many learnings from this campaign will be applied to refining and improving our design and processes. -
View onCEO and Founder, Boyan Slat, details the design modifications for System 001/B. These upgrades entail two options to speed up the system or slow it down.
Additionally, by taking a modular approach to the design, we can iterate at a much swifter speed and adjust the technology as we learn more. All with the aim of reaching proof of technology and commencing cleanup of The Great Pacific Garbage Patch as soon as possible.
