the trash, distribute it in dumpsters, and then when it's full, you can empty it and essentially keep cleaning. we've developed these ai—powered cameras. what we do is we attach these to bridges, and what it does is it automatically scans the amount of plastic that's flowing through a river. then we actually have a very similar technology that we use on the oceans, where we attach cameras to the bows of ships, which allows us to automatically scan the surface of the ocean. so far, with our ocean cleanup system in the great pacific garbage patch, and with our fleet of interceptors, we have collected more than two million kilos of trash, which on one hand is quite satisfying. on the other hand, of course, we know it's stilljust a very beginning of thisjourney, because our ultimate goal is to collect and stop more than 80% of all the plastic in the oceans.
technology we call system 03. we're deploying that in the summer of 2023. we are making the system three times as big, so 2,400 metres. this will clean up at thrice the rate. and then our models show that if we deploy roughly ten of those systems, we can actually clean up most of the great pacific garbage patch by the end of the decade. so rivers really are the arteries that carry trash from land to sea. so when it rains, plastic washes from streets into creeks into rivers and then ultimately to the ocean. so we have developed a collection of technologies we call interceptors, which are automated systems that we put in the mouth of rivers, and that catches the trash before it reaches the oceans. our flagship tool in our toolkit is what we call the interceptor original, which is this solar—powered autonomous robot, essentially, that has these conveyor belts to automatically scoop out
my name is boyan slat, and i'm the founder and ceo at the ocean cleanup. there's two things that we do. on one hand, we clean up the legacy pollution in these ocean garbage patches. we developed these very long u—shaped barriers, that we pull forth at a very slow speed so that it's safe for marine life, and filters out the plastic, retains that, and then every few days we take the system out vertically, we take the plastic to land for recycling. the current system that we have out there, 800 metres in length, but already it has cleaned up almost 200,000 kilos of plastic, which is 0.2% of the whole great pacific garbage patch. we are still developing the next generation of cleaning
