1
This 2,000m floating line will become the longest floating structure in the world when it’s deployed in 2016
2
It is the first stage in 20-year-old Boyan Slat’s plan to rid the oceans of floating plastic waste
3
This plan involves targeting rotating ocean currents full of waste and skimming the trash from them
4
His goal is to eventually build a 100km floating array that could collect 70,320,000kg of plastic waste over 10 years
5
Slat estimates that this method would cost roughly 4.53 euros (5.04 USD) per kilogram, which is only 3% of the cost of other potential clean-up methods
