The problem

11 million tons of plastic pollution enter the oceans every year, killing over 650,000 marine animals every year. About 50% of ocean plastic comes from less than 2,000 polluted rivers.

about The project

Trashbooms stop ocean-bound plastic in polluted rivers before it gets to the ocean and kills marine life. The technology is designed to be low-tech, low-cost and built with local materials. Workers are 100% locally employed to permanently remove waste that is collected.
