“Year-end wrap-up videos are a social media essential these days, so here is a recap of what happened at The Ocean Cleanup in 2021. It’s been another incredible ride for our team, and we look back at these 365 days during which we made substantial progress on our mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic.
