RE: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch seem to have 16 times more plastic than previously believed
Hi @Valth
I have read about The ocean clean up project. Didn't they adapt an ide that a young guy from The Netherlands came up with and were a plan to build a lot of huge "plastic traps" and send them out in the ocean to circle around and collect floating plastic? Think they was planed to be out in 6 months at the time before being emptied and then sendt out on another 6 months period.
Hey @gyldenhorn.
Yes, you remember correctly :) I think the technology has change a bit since their inception, but they still have big plans to clean up all the plastic. I just hope they are able to get the funding they need to test it out.
