CLEAN : Dutch inventor harnessing waves to clean up the seas

The video discusses the development and testing of an ocean cleanup system designed to withstand extreme conditions, particularly in the North Sea. The system uses long floating barriers to concentrate and collect plastic waste, leveraging ocean currents. The speaker shares a personal story of realizing the plastic pollution problem while diving in Greece. The video also explains how ocean currents transport plastic across oceans, leading to the formation of garbage patches in subtropical areas.
