Interceptors collect trash AND data for upstream change
October 07, 2025
Interceptors don't just collect trash; they collect data. To solve plastic pollution, we must address its entire lifecycle—from production to disposal—while cleaning up the existing plastic pollution harming our oceans. But the upstream solutions are expected to take decades. In the meantime… The Ocean Cleanup is buying the world time by intercepting plastic in rivers before it reaches the ocean. At the same time, Interceptors don't just collect plastic; they collect data on global plastic emissions. We actively provide this data to governments and policymakers to drive upstream change. We are also working to clean up the existing plastic pollution in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which will never go away by itself, but will degrade into dangerous microplastics. Every kilogram of plastic we prevent from entering the ocean is a victory—not just for ecosystems but also for coastal economies and future generations.
