Boyan Slat, 19, has invented a method of cleaning up the ocean in just 5 years. The project, which is called the Marine Litter Extraction, consists of a series of stationary floating booms and processing platforms which will trap and remove plastic rubbish from the ocean while leaving the marine lifeforms unharmed. Boyan Slat estimates that his self-sustaining invention, which runs on solar power and ocean currents, is likely to make $500 million a year from selling the plastic rubbish collected. He believes the total amount earned in 5 years will be more then the cost of the project and therefore be profitable.

I believe Boyan Slat’s project will be very successful if he targets investors with large amounts of money and have strong holding power due to the fact that the investors will only see their profits after 5 years. The Marine Litter Extraction project, should it succeed, will be the first in the market and will have a dominant position for years to come. As mankind has yet to find a efficient method of recycling, plastic garbage will continue to pollute the oceans. With this in mind, Boyan Slat’s invention will continue to provide returns for investors for years to come. Donate to The Ocean Cleanup Foundation!
