How can it be recycled? Plastic recycling has been shown be virtually nonexistent?

Hello friends! First of all, great work. Second, where can one purchase recycled materials to use in place of raw materials for sustainable products made from recycled ocean plastics / metals?

Great work! Is 9t of plastic a lot? The whole patch must be millions of tons?!

Around 8-9M metric tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. That's equivalent to a garbage truck emptying plastic into the ocean every single minute I know it’s easy for families to pick up a pack of plastic water bottles but it’s killin the earth! Use refillable bottle
