As plastic debris continues to amass at alarming rates in the ocean, the demand for effective and long-term cleanup solutions has never been greater. It is crucial to develop and deploy systems that either prevent plastics from entering waterways or collect plastic waste in the ocean and rivers. However, there have been limited reports on the technologies available. It is therefore difficult for policy makers, entrepreneurs, and academics to reach a consensus in relation to the state of current technology to address this global issue.
This week, our featured article will list some of the technologies currently used or in development to prevent plastic from leaking, or collecting existing plastic pollution. We aim to facilitate comparisons between the various solutions and assist in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of current technological approaches.
