The Ocean Cleanup’s revolutionary machine, which aims to collect some 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic trash, is ready to take its first voyage

(Natural News) In Alameda, California, workers of the nonprofit group The Ocean Cleanup are assembling the components of a massive machine that will collect plastic trash from the ocean. An article on Fast Company states that the device will be towed to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch during the summer of 2018.

The revolutionary machine is the brainchild of Boyan Slat. He came up with the idea in 2012 after hearing it would take nearly 80,000 years to clean up 1.8 trillion pieces of ocean plastics.
