UPDATE: Interceptor Barricade is now operational, and we have extracted over 850,000 kg of trash in the last few weeks. Now we await the real test: a heavy flood and a trash tsunami bringing hundreds of tons of plastic in just a few hours to fully validate our solution.

The scale of trash is hard to fathom, 850,000kg is x4 what @TheOceanCleanup have taken out of the GPGP in total so far. Unbelievable the scale of river pollution.

How do these figures compare with the other interceptors? Feels like the amount of trash at play here is significantly higher and more concentrated than at other sites

What do you do with the trash once collected?

Our goal is to recycle as much trash as possible. All the trash removed from the river is weighted on-site to determine the total catch quantity. Then it will be passed on to our local partners and waste management authorities.

Where will the plastic be brought after extracting it from the river?

Is there any work being done proactively with governments to prevent the plastic ending up in the rivers in the first place or is this just how its going to be with the interceptors?

Keep at it. It’s a minuscule amount but every adventure starts with the first step. Thanks

INTERCEPTOR 006: We’re wasting no time in Guatemala. 🇬🇹 As we assemble the Interceptor Barricade, we’re removing the trash that’s already built up to free up space. We’re hoping to capture many times more once the floods arrive and Interceptor 006 is fully operational.

While trying to solve ocean plastic pollution, we've had a few unscheduled learning opportunities. Interceptor Trashfence in Guatemala was one of them. Hear it from Guillermo, who was on site when it broke back in 2022. After its failure, we deployed Interceptor 006 and 021, which are now successfully stopping trash from reaching the Gulf of Honduras.

Now thats a cleanup! In this bay we removed a total of 166 kg of ocean plastic. And that’s all washed up since November when we last cleaned here. A clear sign of just how much ocean plastic pollution we have on the west coast of Sweden.

Plastic trash interceptor could be a very effective intervention to prevent plastic getting into our rivers and oceans. CM Thiru M.K.Stalin has just sanctioned the TN Coastal Restoration Mission for 14 coastal districts in TN at a cost of Rs 1675 Crores. We will work on several initiatives like plastic trash interceptors to prevent plastic pollution. Video credits - The Ocean Cleanup World Bank India GiGadgets

We are not the same This is a beach in Panama, and it’s common there to have entire beaches flooded with trash When it rains all the trash in the streets, rivers and informal dumpsites is carried straight into the ocean. Their beaches overwhelmed by plastic accumulation Panama generates 4,000+ tons of waste daily, with only 4% recycled Keep in mind, we are importing these people that just throw their trash onto the streets and beaches into America

Danish FM Rasmussen on Greenland: We are in a much better position now compared to a few weeks ago because there are no threats on the table. We are not out of the crisis. We do not have a solution yet, and until we have the final conclusions, we can't draw any conclusions.
