The Ocean Cleanup's mission is to develop and scale solutions to rid the world's oceans of plastic.
Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans primarily from rivers. The plastic afloat across the oceans – legacy plastic – isn’t going away by itself. Therefore, solving ocean plastic pollution requires a combination of stemming the inflow and cleaning up what has already accumulated.
The Ocean Cleanup is developing cleanup systems to clean up what is already polluting our oceans and to intercept plastic on its way to the ocean via rivers. When we have achieved our goal of a 90% reduction in ocean plastic, our project will be finished, and our work will be done.

NEWS from Los Angeles:
We will be expanding our operations.
Following the success of Interceptor 007, we’ve signed agreements with county and city leaders in Los Angeles to expand our operations to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers.
This project aims to prevent an estimated 410–628 tons of plastic from entering the Pacific Ocean through the LA rivers each year, with deployments expected ahead of the LA28 Olympic Games.

Indonesia is home to our first river Interceptor, Interceptor 001 in Jakarta’s Cengkareng Drain, as well as Interceptor 020 in the nearby Cisadane River.
The lessons we learned from these deployments are shaping future in-country and global efforts.
