What it concludes

• 80% of plastic flowing to oceans from rivers comes from just 1% of rivers.
• Putting trash-eating robots on the worst-defending rivers goes a long way to fixing pollution at the source.
• Interceptor barrier sits 1.5 feet deep so fish can swim underneath while trash is captured.
• All six dumpsters can get filled in a single day after heavy rain.
• Raising 30 million dollars by the end of the year will remove 30 million pounds of trash and plastic from the ocean.
