There’s been a breakthrough in the battle against plastic pollution in the world’s oceans. A company based in the Netherlands called Ocean Clean Up has announced the successful trial of a new device designed to collect huge amounts of plastic by remote control. It’s been trialed in the Great Pacific Garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean, an enormous body of plastic waste that drifts on natural currents between Hawaii and the West Coast of the US.
“Rethink Disposable” is a campaign by Clean Water Action which shows how we can change the conversation about the disposable products that we use every day and begin to stop plastic pollution at the source by rethinking single-use disposable products.
