Ny metode kan fjerne plastic fra 2018

Miljøgruppen The Ocean Cleanup forventer at kunne implemenetere en ny metode, der kan rense plastic op fra Stillehavet i første halvdel af 2018. Metoden gør oprydningen både lettere og hurtigere.

Det kan ligne den metode, der benyttes ved inddæmning af olieforurening. Gennem udlægning af flydende spærringer kan de enorme mængder plastic, der flyder rundt i oceanerne inddæmmes, opsamles og bringes til forarbejdning på land.

Det var den nu 21-årige hollænder Boyan Slat, der for flere år siden fik idéen til, hvordan det lettere ville være muligt at indsamle plastic fra oceanerne.

Siden dannede han The Ocean Cleanup, der nu har indsamlet donationer på 21,7 mio. dollar, nok til at i gangsætte storskala-forsøg senere i år.

“På grund af vores holdning om, at vi skal "teste for at lære" indtil teknologien er bevist, er jeg overbevist om, at vi sammen med vores ekspert partnere vil lykkes i vores mission, “ påpegede Boyan Slat på et møde i Holland om projektet.

Se videoen herunder om Boyan Slat og teknologien, der angiveligt kan rense halvdelen af Stillehavets plastic-øer op på 10 år.
