According to the report of the Business Insider website of the United States, when Boyan Slat proposed the concept of a floating wall at the age of 18, the idea of ​​using ocean currents to collect and recycle marine litter to promote self-cleaning of the ocean was finally realized. Currently 20-year-old Boyan Slat led his team The Ocean Cleanup to build a 62-mile floating wall on the Pan-Pacific trash belt and showed some results. Three years ago in the Netherlands, 18-year-old Boyan Slat talked passionately about the idea of ​​ocean cleanup on the TEDx stage. He will build a floating wall and use ocean currents to collect millions or even hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste. Ultimately, the ocean will achieve self-cleaning through ocean currents. The idea of ​​this 18-year-old child left a deep impression on the public. However, at the time, this was just an idea.
Today, 20-year-old Boyan Slat became the founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup. The big "thinking" now won him $ 152,700 Index Award. Entrepreneurs who get an Index Award are usually using bold ideas to solve the world's toughest problems.
Currently, Boyan Slat is working with his team to build a 62-mile garbage capture system between Hawaii and California in the Pacific Ocean. According to the Huffington Post, this system will be put into use in 2020. By then, this floating wall with a span of more than 6,500 feet will become the longest floating structure in the world.
In 2012, Boyan Slat came to TEDx again to introduce his ideas. In the Pan-Pacific waste belt, eddies and ocean currents gather together. The V-shaped floating wall centered on marine litter will be placed on the Pan-Pacific waste belt and the floating wall will be fixed on the sea Floor three miles from the sea. The ocean currents will pass through the floating walls, and plastic waste that is lighter than water will be intercepted and recycled.
Recently, in the Pan Pacific Trash Zone, the members of The Ocean Cleanup completed a one-month “big adventure†and hope to implement a one-mile floating wall boot test on the coast of Japan next year. In the next 10 years, the 62-mile floating wall designed and constructed by the organization will be able to clear half of the Pan-Pacific waste.
Although Boyan Slat initially thought that he had raised $2 million in funding for him, some commentators said that his idea was actually not feasible. Oceanist Kim Martini said he could not determine whether such a floating wall would indirectly harm marine life. In fact, many experts believe that solving marine pollution should begin on land. Many non-profit organizations have been communicating with numerous companies and individuals to organize more waste into the ocean.
In addition, there are currently some technologies in use that show results. Last year, Baltimore City installed solar-powered waterwheels in the port. The water truck transports the garbage from the ocean out of the water and reaches the bin through the conveyor belt.
However, none of this can prevent Boyan Slat from continuing his project. At present, the project has been in progress for a year. At the same time, the results show that this project does have certain feasibility. "...we haven't found any reason why we can't continue," Boyan Slat said in an interview in 2014. "We can conclude that this program is feasible."
