UPDATE FROM THE GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH Over the next six weeks, we will be back at sea testing the Smart Steering Strategy - an approach that combines data from ocean models, GPS, and aerial drones - to better predict where plastic accumulates. Stay tuned for updates.

Plastic extraction #110 from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - removing another 12,678 kg (27,954 lbs) of plastic from the ocean for good. Our total plastic catch from the GPGP is now over 500,000 kg (1.1 million lbs).

.Amazon Web Services is helping The Ocean Cleanup find and remove plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, thanks to AI and cloud computing. Here's the tech behind the mission. ⬇️ Machine learning models analyze satellite, drone, and sensor data to map where plastic accumulates. Then, our systems help to predict where debris will drift next and optimize cleanup routes in near real-time. AWS also powers data-driven maps that track how plastics move through rivers—accelerating the deployment of river plastic interceptors. The goal? Remove 90% of floating plastic by 2040. The Ocean Cleanup has already removed 64 million pounds of trash worldwide. AWS tech helps them work even faster and smarter.

Our 2026 focus is to scale up our river operations: we are kickstarting our 30 Cities Program to stop up to 1/3 of the plastic currently flowing from rivers into the ocean. But what about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Alongside the deployment of more Interceptors, this year we will continue running AI and drone tests and advancing our computational modeling to help us locate and map plastic hotspots in the GPGP. The goal: to make ocean operations more efficient. Stay tuned for updates!

Here is one of our latest extractions from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can be cleaned in 10 years for 7.5B USD. The only thing standing between the world and a clean ocean is money. It’s time for action.

You asked for it - here it is. For the first time in history, tomorrow we will attempt to livestream a plastic extraction directly from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - over 2400 km (1500 miles) from civilization. More details to follow.

This was our 90th plastic extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and System 03’s last extraction this season. We’ll be back to continue the cleanup in the spring.

🌊 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is finally meeting its match, a floating barrier kilometers long that scrubs plastic from the open sea. It drifts with the currents so trash collects in the center, while fish slip safely underneath. ♻️ The goal? Remove 90% of floating ocean plastic. ✨ #omgfacts #Ocean #Plastic

🐙The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a collection of marine debris that is TWICE the size of France, spans the ocean from North America to Japan😟 RT if you agree we must turn the tide on ocean #pollution!

System 002/C (wings extended to 1300m) completes its debut extraction. ≈4800 kg of plastic removed and prevented from degrading into microplastics and entering animal and human food chains. That's over 206,602 kg we've cleaned up from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch so far.
