This garbage patch is the world\u2019s largest accumulation of floating waste and has an estimated surface area equivalent to three times the size of France.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a new record for the project\u2019s System 002 solution, nicknamed Jenny, and a fitting end to its working life: the Ocean Cleanup is replacing System 002 with System 03, which is almost three times larger and more efficient. It also features more sophisticated environmental monitoring and safety technology, such as a new Marine Animal Safety Hatch designed to protect marine life. The scale-up will bring the project another step closer to achieving its objective of removing 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040.<\/p>\n<p>Recycling of the captured plastic will begin shortly. Part of this will be used by Kia in various future models. Already, Kia has successfully implemented more than 30 sustainable solutions in various product areas, including fabrics and carpets using recycled PET, bio-based alternative leather, and paint without the aromatics BTX. For example, in the EV9, a 7-seat all-electric SUV, upcycled waste, including recycled ghost fishing nets, is used to produce the floor carpets. The car incorporates a total of approximately 34 kg of recycled plastic and bio-based, eco-friendly materials.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainableplastics.com\/news\/ocean-cleanup-reclaims-record-55-tons-plastic-waste-pacific\">Sustainable Plastics<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-389\/\">The Ocean Cleanup reclaims a record 55 tons of plastic waste from the Pacific<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11252,11253,3541],"class_list":["post-116400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-kia","tag-ocean-cleanup","tag-pacific"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116400\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
