Question

What is the estimated price tag regarding the cleanup of plastic pollution particularly from the great pacific garbage gouge?

Answer 1

The Ocean Cleanup’s cost estimate to eradicate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in ten years is $7.5 billion. But, now with new technologies, and especially their new strategy 'hotspot hunting', they think it might be cut back to four years and $4 billion.
