Yes, it is possible to rid our oceans of plastic waste. Ocean pollution accounts for 150 million metric tons of plastics and on top of it, 8 million metric tons of plastics are added annually. Marine life is heavily impacted due to the waste accumulating in their habitat, disturbing a major chunk of the ecological sphere. To address the issue, the ocean clean-up project got behind the task. They have planned to rid the ocean of the waste accumulated within a decade or more. However, if we continue to produce waste at the same rate, it will not help any such projects to come to a conclusion. Moreover, it isn’t a task for one. There are many ways the current technology can enable innovators and entrepreneurs around the world to make this process more efficient and scalable

Future Prospects
The waste collected from the oceans, shall restore the aquatic life to its entirety and allow it to thrive. Taking away the threat of declining coral reefs, we can expect marine life to grow. Once the waste is collected, it can be recycled into raw materials for other manufacturers.
Such a collective economic effort to eliminate waste and practice continual use of resources enables the circular economy to become effective.

Moreover, cleaning up the ocean is just a part of it with a plethora of challenges to actually end ocean pollution yet to come. We have got a long way to go but every goal has a start. Let us make this goal a reality by combining our efforts.
