    "According to the company, any type of recycled plastic can be used. The main goal, the company says, is to keep plastic out of the oceans. "

      Yeah, I saw that. Keeping plastic out of the oceans is different than ocean clean up, which is why I mentioned removal. The Quartz link I just added has slightly different wording: "The project is a part of a larger initiative to rid the seas of “plastic soup.”" That's still vague and could just mean working to prevent additional plastic being added rather than attempts to clean-up the mess.

          No problem! And if anyone wants a translation of the NOS article (the link in Dutch), just let me know. I can translate it when I have chance.
