    Except for oil these thing are ridicolous and otherwise only that lats step or for luxury areas! It has that ocean cleanup problem! Why that millions dollar boat has 4 small mini containers! The only thing it needs a rails and big big container on a a floating platform or boot maybe even without engine so that you use a smaller boat to drive it to just a random location ! Bassicly you only need to develop the band eating the trash!
    Now I get thier companys visons to the fullest!( like are there trash car companies who don’t do this or truck companies) But I think it misses here the long term vision unless you delete the trash creators and also there they missing the big container to trow there trash bags in!

    What does a rig like that cost to include the set up to process all the plastics for recycling

      To have an onboard pyrolysis system… it must be hundreds of millions of dollars at least

    I hate that we have the need all these cleanup programs but I’m glad people are doing something about it. Hopefully we can get to the point where we stop generating (and improperly disposing of) all this plastic to begin with!

    I think, if every country bought these mechanisms, we can reduce the ocean plastic dump and eventually make every water body clean as in the past

    The question is how well does this actually work when the cameras are turned off and the “demonstrations” are over. Not all plastic waste is fresh, clean empty floating plastic bottles. What about plastic tangled in seaweed, what about when you collect 1000 tiny shards of plastic mixed with tiny snails and bugs and larvae… I’m afraid this type of “ambassador” concept ship is a major false hope situation. But, I’d LOVE to see real data showing otherwise.
