More and more marine litter is floating in our oceans. The Ocean Cleanup project aims to tackle the problem - but how effective is it really?

The last version of the Ocean Cleanup's concept failed out at sea, but now a new version is cleaning up the waves.

Boyan Slat and The Ocean Cleanup have made headlines with their ambitious plastic cleanup projects. Their latest idea, the "Interceptor" aims to clean up waste before it ever makes it into the sea.

An ambitious bid to scoop plastic out of the ocean with a giant net seems to be proof of the old adage that in theory there is no difference between theory and practice - but, in practice, there is.

What started out as one German architecture student's final project is set to make waves when it comes to tackling one of our most pressing environmental issues - ocean plastic.

Rebo's high-tech reusable water bottle collects plastic waste from the beach every time you drink. But will growing sales of reusable water bottles save our oceans, or are they a sign of ever-more consumerism?

The new low-noise prototype can pick up plastic without disturbing its natural surroundings.

Cleaning up plastic in the ocean requires first spotting it. New research suggests that a combination of AI and satellite technology could make the process easier, cheaper and more effective.

The project, consisting of a large floating pipe, aims to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
