Description: Year-end wrap-up videos are a social media essential these days, so here is a recap of what happened at The Ocean Cleanup in 2021. It’s been another incredible ride for our team, and we look back at these 365 days during which we made substantial progress on our mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. From groundbreaking research to global partnerships, from reaching proof of technology with our latest ocean system to new Interceptor deployments in rivers, we navigated tumultuous seas and were greeted by stunning rainbows. If we had to give one number to sum it up, it would be 816,671 kg (and counting!) - our total combined catch in rivers and oceans this year. Of course, we look forward to crushing this number next year. And above all, thanks to all of you, supporters, partners, and followers for the growing enthusiasm year after year.
