Um ano após anunciar a criação de um sistema que promete limpar o lixo dos oceanos, o jovem holandês Boyan Slat apresenta os primeiros resultados alcançados pela tecnologia. O Ocean Cleanup é uma espécie de barreira, que aproveita as correntes oceânicas para bloquear os resíduos encontrados no mar. De acordo com os especialistas que acompanharam os testes, a tecnologia é totalmente viável e eficiente.

Para que as análises fossem feitas, um conceito do Ocean Cleanup foi desenvolvido e colocado para funcionar. No teste que mede a captura e concentração, a barreira foi capaz de coletar plásticos em até três metros de profundidade, distância em que normalmente esses resíduos são encontrados. Além disso, o sistema recolheu pouca quantidade de zooplâncton, o que segundo os cientistas, facilita o reaproveitamento e a reciclagem do plástico.

Quando foi divulgado, o projeto recebeu diversas críticas. Isso foi um dos fatores que motivou Slat e sua equipe a contarem com a ajuda de cem especialistas dispostos a analisarem a tecnologia. Os pesquisadores aprovaram e as análises resultaram em um texto com 530 páginas.

Com o embasamento científico, o próximo passo do jovem holandês, de apenas 19 anos, é testar o sistema em grande escala e começar a produção. Para isso, ele está em busca de financiamento coletivo. O alvo é conseguir dois milhões de dólares. A 90 dias do fim da campanha, o projeto já tem 16% da meta atingida.

A tecnologia pode ser de grande valia na luta contra o lixo dos oceanos. De acordo com a divulgação, ele seria capaz de remover mais de sete milhões de toneladas de plástico dos oceanos em apenas dez anos.
