Cleaning the ocean is like mopping the floor without turning off the tap! A video about an innovative solution to both the plastic problem - and poverty - closing the loop in the circular economy.

One solution to our waste plastic problem is to make useful objects out of it - which is exactly what happened when the band Coldplay had their new record made from recycled plastic.

A lot of plastic waste in the oceans comes from polluted rivers. Inventor Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup has a solution to plastic getting into the ocean - pulling it out of rivers before it gets there.

Plastic pollution damages our environment - and us. Many marine animals mistake pieces of plastic for food, so tiny particles end up in the food chain - with serious effects on human immune systems.

Innovative solutions - collective efforts led by individuals, organisations and governments - are being used to combat plastic waste and preserve our most precious resource - our ocean.

What do we get wrong about ocean plastic? A lot, as it turns out! This video presents a dive into the scientific literature plus conversation with experts - to explore how we can solve this problem.
