Answers: Can a robot collect 30 million pounds of trash from a river?
- River trash cleanup
- Ocean plastic pollution
- Interceptor robots
- Team Seas campaign
- Dominican Republic cleanup
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.
