The Problem With Plastic
Trash accumulates in 5 ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. Once in these patches, the plastic will not go away by itself. The biggest challenge of cleaning it up is that the plastic pollution spreads across millions of square kilometers and travels in all directions. Covering this area using vessels and nets would take tens of thousands of years and cost billions of dollars to complete.
New Technology and intelligent design now can use ocean currents to trap the debris in concentrated collection areas. " The Ocean Cleanup" is a truly remarkable strategy
