Amazing news from the Pacific Ocean!

The Ocean Cleanup, an organization dedicated to removing plastic waste from the world's oceans, has achieved a significant milestone by recovering a record-breaking 55 tons of plastic waste from the Pacific Ocean. The cleanup efforts in strong partnership with Kia targeted the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of plastic debris in the ocean. This enormous garbage patch represents the planet's most extensive collection of drifting refuse, covering an estimated area that matches three times the expanse of France.

It is great to also find out that this plastic is subject to recycling and part of it shall be reused by Kia in its future car models.

This achievement in removing plastic waste from the Pacific Ocean not only benefits the global environment but also holds great promise for the well-being and sustainability of islands in the Pacific by preserving their ecosystems, economies, and overall quality of life.
