Founded in 2017 by four individuals, 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.
Each year 1.8 million tonnes of plastic enters our ocean via rivers. Once lost at sea, plastic is almost impossible to retrieve and degrades into smaller particles. The Great Bubble Barrier’s mission therefore is to stop it closer to the source without interfering with marine life or boat traffic. After five years of R&D and pilots, the team developed the world’s first Bubble Barrier technology to effectively capture plastic in rivers. The first long-term Bubble Barrier was installed in the canals of Amsterdam in November 2019.
