‘The floating debris containment barriers System 003, a large U-shaped barrier, encompasses an approximate distance of about 1.6 miles (2.5 km). The vessels are towed by two ships very slowly across the ocean. It collects all floating debris by virtue of the design that facilitates the collection of all waste into one large net located in the middle of the system, which is referred to as a the retention zone. After this the ships manoeuver so as to pull in the bag of waste using a buoy system and winches employed in the outer areas of the bag which maximizes the efficiency of collection. These methods of collection reduce the time and effort required during sorting and recycling of waste, since it is done onboard.’
