The Ocean Cleanup

In 2013 Boyan Slat founded The Ocean Cleanup to develop a device to remove plastic waste in the ocean. The Ocean Cleanup carries out research on and expeditions at the North Pacific Gyre and designed a system that, moving with the currents, catches plastics. In 2018, the first system will be deployed in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. LAPP has carried out research on the legal status of such a system within the Law of the Sea.

A group of independent scientists of natural sciences and lawyers with specialty on legislation & inter(national) policies met to develop science-based rules for plastic usage.
