The video describes an innovative ocean cleanup system designed to collect plastic waste. It features a 600-meter long floater and a three-meter deep skirt to prevent plastic from flowing over. The system uses natural forces like wind, currents, and waves to move and form a U shape, concentrating plastic in the center. Equipped with solar-powered lights, cameras, sensors, and satellite antennas, it ensures efficient operation. A support vessel periodically collects the gathered plastic for recycling into new products.
