The Great Bubble Barrier is a Dutch social enterprise, which developed an effective technology to stop plastic pollution in rivers before it flows into our oceans, using bubbles.

Too much of the waste that our society produces ends up in the water, where it damages marine and human life. Sea turtles and fish get caught up in plastic, ships are obstructed in their paths, and microplastics form a health hazard for the smallest to the largest organisms. Plastic soup is recognised as a international problem more and more, by both the general public, municipalities, government and the European Union.
