Mission 001 (i.e. System 001 and its variations) designs have been the world’s first cleanup systems to be trialed and utilized in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch – the world’s largest accumulation zone of ocean plastics – situated halfway between Hawaii and California.

We have now proven our foundational concept with System 001/B, and will start the design process for System 002, which will become the first full-scale operational system that incorporates previous learnings. System 001/B will remain deployed for further and final testing until the end of November 2019.
