ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP FAQs

HOW MUCH PLASTIC

Q: How much plastic is in the ocean?
A: It's estimated that 107-290 million metric tons of plastic have entered the ocean between 1950-2015, and this number is increasing exponentially. Most of this plastic is buoyant and will eventually end up in one of the ocean's garbage patches.
Q: How has the concept changed over time?
A: We've learned a lot and made a bunch of changes to our technology, which we think will make it more effective at cleaning up plastic pollution in the ocean.
Q: How much plastic can you remove from the ocean?
A: We want to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040. To do this, we need to clean up rivers and intercept plastic before it reaches the ocean.
Q: How will you extract the plastic from the ocean?
A: With System 002, we developed a new extraction method that allows us to roll the retention zone onto the deck of the extraction vessel, emptying the extracted plastic onto the deck.
Q: Why don’t you use the plastic for fuel on the vessels?
A: Our primary focus is on recycling the collected plastic, but we are also exploring alternatives for the fractions of the waste that cannot be mechanically recycled. Turning waste into fuel for the vessels required for our ocean system operations could be a promising option for this reject fraction, but there are many technical and logistical challenges that we would have to investigate prior to implementation.
Q: Why is the plastic you catch in the ocean so clean?
A: The plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not as clean as it may appear in the catch videos, which generally show the whole catch in one overview rather than zooming in on specific pieces. Biofouling is present on the plastic, especially in cracks and inside. Biofouling is usually more common on parts submerged in the water. The parts that remain at the surface are exposed to more UV radiation and are typically free from biofouling.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: It depends on several factors including desired service, facility size, existing contamination level, desired contamination level, equipment density, and cleaning frequency.
Q: How far in advance should I plan?
A: It depends on the scope of the cleanup. A divisional office cleanup day will take less time to plan than a lab cleanup day. Refer to The Division Cleanup Planning Guide for more information.

WHAT ARE THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF PLASTIC POLLUTION IN THE

Q: What are the long-term effects of plastic pollution in the ocean?
A: A piece of plastic from anywhere in the world can end up in the ocean or a river, and our cleanup technology can help remove it.
Q: What are the long-term effects of plastic pollution in the oceans?
A: 1. Plastic pollution is a long-term problem with ecological, economic and eco-toxicological effects.

2. Solutions to plastic pollution require a reduction in the use of plastic, as well as improved waste management and recycling infrastructure.

3. There is no one "perfect" solution to plastic pollution, and a variety of approaches will be necessary to reduce its impact on the environment.
Q: What types of plastic do you find in the middle of the ocean vs closer to shore?
A: HDPE plastics are the most common type of plastic found in the ocean, and include items such as bottles and containers. LDPE and PP plastics are also found, but in smaller amounts. These plastics float and can persist in the ocean for long periods of time.
Q: Why do you transport the plastic to land instead of processing it at sea?
A: Our team has determined that processing plastic on land is more practical than recycling it at sea. Our first catch was made with recycled ghost nets from Mission One, which were turned into sunglasses. We are currently out of stock of these sunglasses, but we are partnering with companies that will be using our ocean-certified plastic in their product lines.
Q: What are some common materials that take a long time to degrade?
A: You can help reduce the amount of waste in landfills by using cloth diapers, bringing your own thermos, recycling, and making other simple substitutions.

OCEAN CLEANUP SYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

Q: How will the systems withstand severe storms?
A: We will monitor the loads on our system and adapt the speed and span to lower the loads in the case of rough seas. We will also monitor weather forecasts and plan a trajectory to avoid storms, and by understanding the patch climate, we can plan to operate in less critical locations. In the case of a particularly severe storm, the system can be temporarily withdrawn from the operation.
Q: What are you doing to offset your fuel emissions for your offshore activity?
A: The Ocean Cleanup is working to limit and offset its emissions from System 002 in order to reduce its impact on the environment.
Q: What impact will your cleanup technology have on floating organisms (neuston) in the ocean?
A: We don't really know how our technology will impact floating organisms (neuston), but we're doing research to try to find out.
Q: What are the nicknames of your ocean cleanup systems?
A: System 001 was nicknamed Wilson in reference to the volleyball that is Tom Hanks’ friend in the film Cast Away, while he is stranded on a small island in the South Pacific.
Q: How are you financing the cleanup?
A: You can support The Ocean Cleanup by making a donation on our website, or by favouriting us in PayPal. If you are a company interested in sponsoring or donating to The Ocean Cleanup, please contact us through our contact form.
Q: What permits are needed for shorefront, beachfront or wetland cleanup?
A: If you’re cleaning up your yard after a storm, you’ll need a permit to dump storm debris in a wetland.

INTERCEPTING POLLUTION AND HANDLING EMERGENCIES.

Q: What is an Interceptor™?
A: We need to remove legacy waste and prevent plastic from entering the ocean by intercepting it at rivers, which are the primary source of ocean plastic.
Q: Who operates the Interceptor™?
A: We will submit an RFP for the deployment of our solution in each city, which will include a review of our technology by local experts, a feasibility study of the local environment, and a business plan for the long-term success of the project.
Q: How can I buy an Interceptor™?
A: If you want to help clean up local waterways, or if you're a company or local government interested in funding this technology, please contact us! We'd love to hear from you.
Q: Who do I call to report an emergency?
A: Don’t swim in the water. Contact the state if there is a spill.
Q: What should I do if the power is out?
A: If your power goes out, use alternative power/heating sources safely to avoid deadly accidents, including carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Q: What can I do if my home is flooded?
A: Be wary of flood water, which can cause serious health and structural problems. Limit your contact with it, pump out flooded basements gradually, dry out the building, and discard soaked items that can't be cleaned and dried. Service damaged septic systems as soon as possible.

IMPACT AND SPECIFICATIONS.

Q: How do your work and research impact local and international communities?
A: The Ocean Cleanup is working to reduce plastic pollution by partnering with governments and private organizations to improve waste management practices.
Q: How do you make sure the system does not break?
A: System 002 was designed to be simpler and more flexible than System 001, with the goal of minimizing the possibility of breakage. The system will be monitored for loads and weather conditions, and adjustments will be made as necessary to avoid damage.
Q: How does the Interceptor™ Original work?
A: The Interceptor Original is a device that is placed in a river in order to collect plastic debris that is floating in the water. The device uses a barrier and conveyor belt system to concentrate and extract the plastic, which is then transferred to a waste management facility.
Q: What are the technical specs and the size of the Interceptor™ Original?
A: The Interceptor is a large, autonomous, off-grid-powered, remote-monitored, automated, 4G data-uplinked pontoon with a waste collection barge that can hold 50 metric tons of waste.
Q: How much waste can the Interceptor Original extract?
A: The Interceptor Original has a capacity of 50 m3 and can be emptied by local operators. Each river is unique, and our measures may need to be adapted to fit a specific river.

TRANSITION TO ACTIVE APPROACH FOR OCEAN CLEANING.

Q: Why are you moving from a passive to an active approach to clean the oceans from plastic?
A: We have pivoted from our initial vision of a fully automated solution to a hybrid solution that is more efficient and scalable.

The new solution

The first step was to define the requirements for the new solution.

We decided to divide the solution into two parts:

A set of scripts that will be run on a schedule to clean up resources.

A web-based dashboard that will be used by our customers to request cleanup of resources that are not cleaned up by
Q: Why not prevent plastic from reaching rivers in the first place?
A: Prevention is a necessary part of the solution to the plastic pollution problem, but it is only one part of the solution. Technology is another part of the solution that can yield faster results.
Q: Why was the river project kept a secret at first?
A: We kept the project under wraps during development to avoid raising false expectations, but we did touch on it briefly in our annual report.
Q: Who determines if Institutional Controls (ICs) are in place?
A: Each site is different, so it depends on the specific circumstances at each one. You'll need to contact your EPA Regional representative for more information.
Q: Where do I put additional EPA funds spent at the property that are not from the EPA Brownfields Program?
A: Additional EPA funding should be entered under the "Other Federal" option in ACRES. Enter the funding amount and the name of the funding source (i.e., EPA Environmental Education Grant, EPA Environmental Justice Grant, etc.).

RIVERS AND OCEAN PLASTIC WASTE?.

Q: Why did you start with developing technologies for rivers?
A: We can’t clean up the oceans if we don’t stop the plastic from coming in.

How do we do this?

To prevent plastic from entering the oceans, we need to go upstream. We need to address the root cause of the problem: the production of plastic.

When we started The Ocean Cleanup, we knew that we could not just focus on the cleanup of the oceans, but we also had to tackle the problem at its source.
Q: How will you be able to tackle 1000 rivers?
A: We want to clean up the 1000 most polluted rivers using our Interceptor Solutions toolkit. We need everyone's help to make this happen!
Q: What will you do with the plastic once it’s extracted from the oceans?
A: The Ocean Cleanup wants to recycle the plastic it collects from the ocean into new products. Its first product made from ocean plastic is a pair of sunglasses, but they are currently out of stock.
Q: What will you do with the extracted waste from rivers?
A: The Ocean Cleanup aims to help tackle the 1000 most polluting rivers, but cannot manage the local waste handling themselves. They implement solutions, in collaboration with partners and governments, according to the current and future waste management capacities of each deployment location. Meanwhile, they continue to investigate solutions to properly treat and dispose of the collected plastic waste in accordance with their internal waste management policy that are affordable, and compliant with local regulations and environmental and social standards.
Q: How do you know which rivers are the top polluted ones?
A: The top 10 rivers that contribute the most plastic to the world’s oceans are:

1. The Yangtze River in China

2. The Indus River in Pakistan

3. The Ganges River in India

4. The Pearl River in China

5. The Hai River in China

6. The Yellow River in China

7. The Nile River in Egypt

8. The Amazon River in South America

9.
Q: What should I do with insulation, asbestos and other waste debris?
A: If you are cleaning up after a disaster, be aware that you may be dealing with hazardous materials. Report any hazardous materials to the proper authorities and take appropriate precautions when handling them.
Q: Who are the Operations contacts to help me with regulated and unregulated waste removal?
A: Contact your division's Generator Assistant for assistance with waste characterization, segregation, packaging, and removal.

INFORMATION ABOUT DEPLOYED INTERCEPTORS™ AND SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS?.

Q: Where are your Interceptors™ currently deployed?
A: The Interceptor is a new kind of solution to the problem of plastic pollution in the world’s waterways. It’s a floating barrier that catches and collects plastic waste before it reaches the oceans.

The Interceptor is powered by the sun and the wind, and it’s designed to be modular, so it can be adapted to different environments and scaled up or down to meet the needs of a particular community.

The Interceptor has been deployed in Indonesia
Q: Where can I find more information for my presentation/school project?
A: We welcome you to use the contents of our website.
Q: Where can I find your scientific publications?
A: Our paper is called “The Impact of Unsupervised Pre-training on the Performance of Neural Machine Translation Systems”.

We found that unsupervised pre-training can improve translation quality, especially for low-resource languages.

We found that unsupervised pre-training can improve translation quality, especially for low-resource languages. We used a new method to pre-train our translation model, called masked language modeling (MLM).
