Ocean Cleanup’s redesigned system successfully collects plastic

The video tutorial discusses the Ocean Cleanup's System 001B, which uses a parachute to harness natural winds and waves for efficient plastic collection. The system has been enhanced with a forward-moving plastic screen and bigger boats to increase buoyancy and prevent waste from escaping. It successfully collects large plastic pieces, ghost nets, and microplastics from the Pacific Ocean, with plans to recycle the collected plastic on land.

What is the primary purpose of adding a parachute to the Ocean Cleanup System 001B?

• To enhance the system's visibility

• To allow natural elements to aid in plastic collection

• To increase the speed of the system

• To reduce the system's operational costs

How does the system prevent plastic from floating out of the cleanup area?

• By increasing the system's speed

• By employing a floating barrier

• By using a net

• By using a magnetic field

What was added to the system's cork line to improve buoyancy?

• More anchors

• Larger boats

• Additional nets

• Extra parachutes

What types of plastic waste has the system successfully collected?

• Only microplastics

• Only ghost nets

• Large plastic pieces and ghost nets

• Only large plastic pieces

What is the smallest size of microplastics that the system can collect?

• Five millimeters

• Two millimeters

• One millimeter

• Ten millimeters
