What if one of the most famous environmental projects is doing more harm than good?

The Ocean Cleanup, launched by Boyan Slat, promised to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040. But new studies show the shocking truth behind this effort: the destruction of marine ecosystems, skyrocketing carbon emissions, and massive financial waste.

In this eye-opening report:

Up to 12,000 marine creatures are killed per ton of plastic removed.

Cleanup vessels burn thousands of gallons of diesel daily.

Microplastic levels are rising — not falling.

Indigenous communities say they weren’t consulted and are being harmed.

$47 million spent for just 250 tons of trash?

Meanwhile, land-based solutions and natural alternatives are proving more effective. The truth? We need to stop pollution at the source — not just collect it after the damage is done.
