He has been working on his project for about five years.

Plastic floats in a circular motion driven by ocean currents. He plans to put a floating barrier in the current to collect the plastic. A conveyor belt will lift the plastic up into a container, and every six weeks a ship will arrive to empty the container and bring the plastic back to shore for recycling.

The amount of plastic there is around 7.25 billion tonnes, the weight of 1000 Eiffel Towers!
