Plastic waste is a major problem that affects every environment on Earth, including wildlife, their habitats, and humans. The Great Pacific garbage patch is a massive collection of marine debris that has accumulated in the North Pacific Ocean due to ocean currents. It contains plastic, chemical sludge, and other debris that are harmful to the environment. The patch is made up of microscopic particles and larger objects, covering 1.6 million square kilometers and comprising 1.8 trillion pieces of debris.
Research has shown that the patch is growing rapidly and needs to be cleaned up. The following is the outline of a two-step process for cleaning up the trash.
Step 1: A modern, high-efficiency engine moves a paddle steamer slowly through the water, while the paddle wheels reverse to catch the garbage.

Step 2. The collected plastic can be safely baled by a baler on the ship and stored for transportation to a recycling facility. A baler compresses the material into bales that are easy to handle and store. Industrial balers that are used in recycling facilities prepare plastic for transport.
The two-step process described above is an innovative approach to cleaning up the garbage patch on the world's oceans. Plastic collection can be fully automated as a mobile factory in the middle of the sea. Servicing the operation would require regular transportation of the collected trash for recycling.
