Transition to system 03 begins

System 03, three times the size of System 002 and capable of capturing much larger quantities of plastic at a lower cost per kilogram removed on a continuous year-round basis. We believe the huge increases in both size and uptime can result in a system that is ten times as effective as its predecessor. Cleaning the entire GPGP requires a blueprint for our ocean cleaning systems. With System 03, we aim to deliver the blueprint design for scaling toward a fleet of systems. System 002 demonstrated that The Ocean Cleanup’s systems can successfully and consistently harvest plastic. Now this is proven, the transition to System 03 and parallel test campaign will allow us to progress to the next phase of our cleanup – optimizing our blueprint and expanding to a full fleet of systems to clean the entire GPGP.
