17 Nov 2022 --- The Indonesian and Dutch governments have signed a joint declaration with non-profit organization The Ocean Cleanup to expand river cleaning technologies throughout Indonesia and help the country achieve its target of reducing marine plastic debris by 70% before 2025. The collaboration is now looking for potential packaging industry partners. The declaration follows a pilot program launched in 2017 in which The Ocean Cleanup’s Interceptor 001 technology was deployed in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is 100% solar-powered and extracts plastic autonomously from rivers.
