“…The "Mr. Trash Wheel" is an innovative waterbased cleanup technology designed to remove plastic and debris from rivers and water bodies, preventing it from reaching the oceans. One prominent example is the "Mr. Trash Wheel" in Baltimore, Maryland, which utilizes a solarpowered waterwheel to collect and remove floating debris from the city's Inner Harbor [12], [13]). The system consists of a floating platform with a large waterwheel at its center.…”

“…The Bubble Barrier has shown effectiveness in capturing a wide range of plastic debris, including both macroplastics and microplastics. Plastic Soup Foundation [15] and Hydro International [13] have demonstrated the system's ability to significantly reduce the transport of plastic waste in rivers, acting as a barrier that redirects the flow of plastics toward the riverbanks. The technology is non-intrusive to aquatic ecosystems and marine life, minimizing the risk of bycatch.…”

Plastic pollution in ocean is a burning issue globally and cleanup of the debris from the ocean is essential. The manuscript provides a thorough examination of diverse innovative ocean cleanup technologies, showcasing their unique strengths and contributions. Boyan Slat's Ocean Cleanup System excels in addressing large debris, while Seabin Technology effectively targets surface-level plastics in marinas. Mr. Trash Wheel demonstrates high efficiency in rivers, preventing plastics from entering oceans. Drones and Autonomous Vehicles offer versatility and coverage for large areas, while Community-Based Cleanup Initiatives foster engagement and address plastics at their source. The Bubble Barrier is effective in capturing floating plastics in rivers, and the Ocean Cleanup Interceptor efficiently tackles plastic pollution in river mouths. Bio-Inspired Cleanup explores biomimicry for precise plastic identification. The FRED (Floating Robot) is a mobile solution designed for high seas cleanup. Aquatic Drones with AI leverage artificial intelligence for precise plastic identification for collection, and Ocean Plastic Collector Arrays provide a passive, scalable design for surface-level plastics. This comprehensive review equips researchers and practitioners with valuable insights into the diverse and effective strategies available to combat ocean plastic pollution.
