Podcast appearances and mentions of Boyan Slat

In this episode of the NatureBacked podcast, we take a deep dive into one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time: plastic pollution in our oceans. Join us as we welcome Boyan Slat, the founder of The Ocean Cleanup, a pioneering non-profit organization dedicated to ridding the world's oceans of plastic. Boyan shares his vision and the innovative technologies being employed to tackle this global crisis. Discover how The Ocean Cleanup aims not just to clean up existing waste but also to prevent future plastic from entering our oceans. With a mission that is bold enough to ultimately put themselves out of "business", Boyan discusses the organization's journey, the challenges faced, and the advancements in technology that make this ambitious goal achievable. The episode was recorded on sidelines of Latitude59 conference in May 2025 in Tallinn. Get ready to be inspired as we explore the potential solutions to a cleaner, healthier planet.

The rate of AI progress is accelerating, so how can we minimize the risks of this incredible technology, while maximizing the rewards? Today I am speaking to leading AI researcher Dan Hendrycks — Dan is the founder of Center for AI Safety, and lead advisor to Elon Musk's X.AI. He was also the architect behind the "Mitigating Risks" letter that was signed by Demis Hassabis, Sam Altman, Bill Gates, Yoshua Bengio and many others. In this conversation we discuss everything from immediate issues like deepfakes, to upcoming risks like malicious use, centralisation of power, regulatory capture and more. In other words, how do we ensure AI ends up a win/win for humanity instead of a lose/lose.

Today's Win-Win episode is with Boyan Slat. Boyan is the founder and CEO of the Ocean Cleanup, the famous organization that's trying to rid our waterways of plastic for good. I ask him why plastic has become such a problem, the difference between effective and ineffective regulation (ahem Plastic Straw Ban!), the importance of mindset when solving hard problems, and of course, his relationship with competition. Good stuff. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:25 - Origin Story 00:07:52 - How the Ocean Cleanup Works 00:17:20 - Practical vs Ideological Solutions 00:38:01 - Role of Regulation in Fixing Incentives 00:45:14 - Plastic Straw Ban 00:52:30 - Personal plastic usage and Trade-offs 01:00:41 - Is Technology Values Neutral? 01:07:31 - Competition 01:13:10 - How to Solve Big Problems 01:20:45 - Long-term plans

Prøv at forestille dig, det er en dejlig sommerdag, og du bader ved havet. Men hvad er nu det, det er en gammel plastikpose, der rammer dine ben. Hvordan er den mon endt her? Hvor kommer al den plastik, der er i havene fra? Her burde være fuld af liv, men mange steder er der mere plastik, end der er planter og dyr. Der må gøres noget! Lyt til historien om Boyan Slat, som har en genial idé til at fjerne plastik i havene.Foto: richcarey / Getty ImagesSkrevet af: Ina Fischer AndersenIndledende spørgsmål indtalt af: Mattis Arnfeldt NordlundeIndtalt af: Torben Olander og Lisbeth Westergaard Hansen/Gyldendal

A truckload of rubbish enters the ocean every minute. Boyan Slat is on a mission to remove it. He's the founder of The Ocean Cleanup, one of the organisations ridding the oceans of plastic. But how does so much rubbish end up in the ocean to begin with? Boyan explains. One solution is to stop the flow from polluted rivers. You may have spotted clean-up videos on TikTok, especially in Bali. We speak to local Giri Winckler who is picking up plastic piece by piece.

Humans create more than 400 million metric tons of plastic every year. Around a million tons of that plastic ends up in the ocean.On this week's episode, JP speaks to Boyan Slat, CEO and founder of The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit foundation on a mission to remove 90% of it by 2040. Listen now.

Alongside the newly-deployed Interceptor 006 in Guatemala, CEO and Founder of The Ocean Cleanup, Boyan Slat, reflects on the four-year campaign to intercept tsunamis of trash in this one-of-a-kind river. From perseverance to partnerships, Boyan explains the vital ingredients for a successful launch and celebrates the 1m kilograms of trash already intercepted. Boyan tells us more on a range of topics, from the importance of the negotiations for a Global Plastic Treaty to our plans for improving efficiency in our GPGP cleanup. He also speaks of his personal growth during the last year, how he handles the responsibilities that come with success, and gives his hot take on one of 1995's biggest movies.

Fin mai 2023, un sommet international visant à trouver un accord pour lutter contre la pollution plastique se tient à Paris, au siège de l'Unesco. À quelques centaines de mètres, au Grand Palais éphémère, des entreprises du monde entier présentent 1000 solutions écoresponsables. ______ Lorsque Nelly Pons a commencé son enquête Océan Plastique, en 2016, le monde, était fasciné par le projet Ocean Cleanup du jeune Néerlandais Boyan Slat. La technique qu'il proposait portait alors un grand espoir : celui de parvenir à piéger et enlever tous les déchets concentrés dans les gyres.  En réalité, seul 1 % des plastiques se trouve à la surface des océans. Le reste, 99 %, est déjà fragmenté et dispersé dans la colonne d'eau ou déposé au fond. Boyan Slat aura au moins réussi à attirer l'attention sur cette pollution dont on sait maintenant qu'elle ne peut être endiguée qu'en amont.  Il faut donc filtrer les fleuves et les rivières ? Pas la panacée non plus. Lors d'une inondation, avant de commencer à éponger, il faut fermer le robinet. Pour le plastique, c'est pareil : la priorité, c'est de réduire drastiquement notre production et notre consommation. Toutes les autres approches ont un défaut : elles laissent penser qu'on peut continuer à utiliser ces matériaux comme par le passé. Ce ne sera pas possible, n'en déplaise à nos habitudes confortables. NB: Connaissez-vous le compte Instagram de BSG ?

Boyan Slat hatte als 18-Jähriger eine Idee: den Ozean von Plastikmüll zu befreien. Inzwischen hat er das Unternehmen „The Ocean Cleanup“ gegründet und groß gemacht.

The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization, founded in 2013 by Dutch inventor Boyan Slat, to develop and scale technologies to rid the world's oceans of plastic.  It is an organization that proudly declares that its primary aim is to put itself out of business by successfully cleaning up the oceans. A major activity of […]

Boyan Slat is zonder twijfel één van de helden van het land. Slat is oprichter en boegbeeld van The Ocean Cleanup. Het woest ambitieuze project om de oceanen van deze wereld te ontdoen van alle plastic rotzooi. Remy Gieling stelt zelfs dat Slat ‘De Nederlandse Musk' is. Hoewel hij een totaal andere communicatiestijl heeft, heeft Remy een punt. Slat is een intens gedreven probleemoplosser-op-een missie. In deze speciale aflevering van DenkTank bespreken Remy en Hans Janssen de hoogtepunten uit het optreden van Boyan Slat op Amsterdam Business Forum:Hoe gaat het eigenlijk met The Ocean Cleanup?Hoe gaat Slat om met situaties waarin er iets mislukt of zwaar tegenvalt?Hoe zorgt Boyan met zijn team ook de de toevoer van plastic naar Oceanen wordt gestopt? Wat kunnen leiders en ondernemers leren van Boyan's ondernemers- en levenswijsheden? Hoe verbinden de ervaringen van Slat met de conceptuele lessen van experts als Osterwalder, Collins en Edmondson? Een kwetsbaar, openhartig verhaal van een spreker die misschien geen podiumtijger is, maar op velen diepe indruk maakte met het doorkijkje in zijn ziel. Notes:De trashfence uit GuatamalaSite van The Ocean CleanupMooiste clips van The Ocean Cleanup vind je hier.

How do you clean the world's oceans of plastic? 10 years ago, when he was just 18, Dutchman Boyan Slat thought he knew how to do it, and set out his vision at TED talk. The journey from theory to reality has proved difficult, but he is now extracting plastic from the Pacific and a number of rivers around the world. We speak to Boyan about the scale of the task at hand. Is it even an achievable goal? How is he raising enough money? What does he make of the accusation he's helping multi-nationals ‘greenwash' their reputations by taking sponsorship cash?

Life on Earth is complex right now! Whether you are alert to refugee crises, signs of environmental damage and climate change, severe storms, health effects from air and water pollution, or social and political turmoil, you could make a list of a lot of things that worry you or even lead you to feel despair.But are the anxiety and eco-anxiety that have become normal our best response to the crises we face? Neuroscience and the history of activism suggest an alternative approach that's more beneficial for us as individuals, and far more effective for healing our world. We're learning that:·       Anxiety creates a freeze response in our brains that shuts down the optimism and innovation needed to solve crises. ·       People who bemoan social problems or environmental problems often make few or no contributions to solutions.·       Neuroscientist Rick Hanson describes the human brain's state of anxiety, stress, and pessimism as the activity of our reactive (and more primitive) ‘red brain.' Conversely, our ‘green brain' state is our responsive (and more evolved) mode of confidently meeting challenges and enjoying life's pleasures without getting stuck in the stress response. ·       We can see the effects of red brain and green brain play out in human history and the work of current activists such as Wangari Maathai and Boyan Slat.·       It may be fashionable to moan and complain in ‘red brain' and talk about our dystopian future, but I challenge you to realize that actually we are designed to respond creatively to our world, not sit frozen in despair.·       If you want to suffer less and help a lot more, learn to curate your ‘green brain.' Listen in to learn how.·       Living as much as possible in green brain allows you to be someone who assists with regeneration for people and planet, rather than someone who holds us back.

Do you know what a "milestone" is? In Chinese, it's 【里程碑】. There are many kinds of milestones. When you become 18 years old, that's a milestone. When you get your first job, that's a milestone. And, if you get married or have a baby, those are milestones, too. 18歲成年、第一份工作、或是結婚生小孩，每一個都是一種里程碑。 Today, I want to talk about a different kind of milestone. This one is about plastic. The milestone is about cleaning up a lot of plastic in the ocean. 現在，有一個清理海洋塑膠垃圾的里程碑！ First, I need to tell you about something called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a really big pile of plastic floating in the ocean. Most of that plastic is in very small pieces. It can hurt fish and other animals in the ocean. 太平洋垃圾島是一堆在海上飄的垃圾推起來的，這些垃圾會害魚跟其他的動物受傷。 Some people are trying very hard to clean up the plastic from the ocean. One of these people is a man named Boyan Slat. He made a special type of machine to clean up plastic from the ocean. 一個叫做 Boyan Slat 做了一台清理塑膠的機器。 This year, his machine hit a milestone. It cleaned up 220,000 pounds of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That's almost the same weight as a blue whale, the biggest animal on earth! 今年這台機器達到了一個里程碑，清了好多垃圾，重量幾乎跟一頭藍鯨一樣重！ Wow! Congratulations! ________________________________ Vocabulary 環保人士清除了大量海洋垃圾，達成新的里程碑。 1. get married 結婚 Tom says he's getting married when he's 21. 湯姆說他要21歲時結婚。 But he's only 10 now! 但是他現在才十歲！ 2. try 努力 Well, he says he'll try hard to save money. 他說他要努力存錢。 How much has he saved? 他存了多少了？ About one hundred NT. 大約一百塊吧。 He has to try harder. 他得再努力一點。 3. milestone 里程碑 I think for him, 1,000 NT would be a milestone. 我想對他來說，一千塊就是個里程碑。 That shouldn't be too hard. 那應該沒那麼困難。 4. job 工作 Maybe he can get a job. 也許他可以找個工作。 He's too young to have a real job. 他太小了，不能真的去工作。 He can water my plants. 他可以幫我的植物澆水。 These are very useful words. get married 結婚 try 努力 milestone 里程碑 job 工作 ________________________________ Quiz 1.

Na jarenlang ontwerpen, rekenen, bouwen en aanpassen gingen de plastic soep-bezems van The Ocean Cleanup dit jaar eindelijk echt aan de slag. Daarmee is de droom van Boyan Slat in een nieuwe fase van opschalen terecht gekomen. De afgelopen zomer viste zijn Ocean Cleanup op één dag maar liefst 100.000 kilo plastic uit het water tussen Hawaii en Californië. Toch is er nog heel veel werk te verrichten. In deze zogeheten Great Pacific Garbage Patch ligt namelijk 80 miljoen kilo plastic in het water.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boyan Slat, Founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, describes his contrasting emotions following the first trial of the Interceptor Trashfence in Guatemala. Boyan shares how he takes learnings from disappointments, updates us on The Ocean Cleanup's progress in the Pacific Ocean over the last year, and reveals how operations to rid our oceans of plastic are ready to be scaled up across the globe.

Als er iemand is die een duidelijke missie nastreeft en daar zelf iedere dag vorm aan geeft, is het Boyan Slat. De oprichter van Ocean Clean Up wil het plastic in onze oceanen en rivieren opruimen. Op jonge leeftijd bouwt hij een missiegedreven organisatie waar menselijke gedrevenheid en technologie elkaar ontmoeten.

Depuis plusieurs années déjà, l'organisation à but non lucratif The Ocean Cleanup s'affaire à nettoyer mers et océans de ses détritus. D'ailleurs, depuis août dernier, sa cible n'est autre que le vortex du Pacifique Nord entre Hawaï et la Californie, d'une superficie trois fois plus grande que la France. Un challenge immense mais qui semble-t-il est déjà un succès !Avant de rentrer dans le détail de l'opération, c'est quoi The Ocean Cleanup ? Et bien il s'agit tout simplement d'un projet à but non lucratif lancé en 2013 par un jeune étudiant de 18 ans (à l'époque) en ingénierie aéronautique, le néerlandais Boyan Slat. Le principe est simple : déployer des filets de 600 mètres de long en forme de U sur trois mètres de profondeur afin de recueillir un maximum de déchets marins produits par l'homme. Une fois les conteneurs pleins, les ordures sont traitées puis recyclés.Jusqu'à présent, le système était passif. Cela signifie que les filets en forme de U se laissaient dériver au gré des courants. Après réflexion, l'équipe a finalement opté pour un système de propulsion bien plus efficace. Concrètement, deux navires avec équipage se placent à chaque bout de la barrière dans le but de la remorquer dans l'eau à une vitesse constante d'environ 3 kilomètres heures. Plus de souplesse et une plus grande efficacité puisque le système peut ainsi être redirigé vers des zones à forte concentration de déchets.Depuis le mois d'août, ce système a été testé plus de 70 fois, dont le plus récent consistait à remplir entièrement le filet en moins de six semaines dans le vortex du Pacifique Nord. Et d'après l'équipe, ce dernier test fut un véritable succès. C'est sur twitter que le fondateur Boyan Slat a partagé la bonne nouvelle écrivant, je cite « Tout a fonctionné !!! Charge massive. Nous essaierons de partager les images dès que possible ». Et en effet, les quelques photos et morceaux de vidéos présent sur internet sont assez impressionnants. Si les équipes de The Ocean Cleanup sont actuellement en train de traiter ses déchets, on ignore pour l'instant la quantité totale récoltés… même si elle devrait sans doute dépasser plusieurs tonnes. En parallèle, l'organisation s'efforce aussi de nettoyer les rivières grâce à un système de rampe et de bac, empêchant ainsi ces déchets d'atteindre l'océan. D'ici 2040, The Ocean Cleanup espère réduire de 90 % les plastiques et autre déchets flottants dans les océans. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lorsque Nelly Pons a commencé son enquête Océan Plastique, en 2016, le monde, était fasciné par le projet Ocean Cleanup du jeune Néerlandais Boyan Slat. La technique qu'il proposait portait alors un grand espoir : celui de parvenir à piéger et enlever tous les déchets concentrés dans les gyres. En réalité, seul 1 % des plastiques se trouve à la surface des océans. Le reste, 99 %, est déjà fragmenté et dispersé dans la colonne d'eau ou déposé au fond. Boyan Slat aura au moins réussi à attirer l'attention sur cette pollution dont on sait maintenant qu'elle ne peut être endiguée qu'en amont. Il faut donc filtrer les fleuves et les rivières ? Pas la panacée non plus. Lors d'une inondation, avant de commencer à éponger, il faut fermer le robinet. Pour le plastique, c'est pareil : la priorité, c'est de réduire drastiquement notre production et notre consommation. Toutes les autres approches ont un défaut : elles laissent penser qu'on peut continuer à utiliser ces matériaux comme par le passé. Ce ne sera pas possible, n'en déplaise à nos habitudes confortables.

Ogni anno finiscono in acqua 8 milioni di tonnellate di plastica. Le cause sono tante, dall'abbandono dei rifiuti al crescente utilizzo di oggetti monouso. La plastica, poi, è un materiale praticamente eterno, che col tempo si sminuzza in piccolissimi frammenti che mettono a rischio interi ecosistemi, come ci racconta anche il velista Giovanni Soldini: per questo, è indispensabile occuparsi delle conseguenze. A soli 16 anni, un ragazzo decide di dedicarsi a una missione: raccogliere, per eliminarla o riutilizzarla, la plastica presente negli oceani, grazie a un'idea innovativa, semplice, ma soprattutto concreta. Oggi il primo paio di occhiali realizzati interamente con la plastica raccolta negli oceani è già una realtà. Il suo nome è Boyan Slat, e questa è la sua storia.Credits estratti audio dagli eventi di The Ocean Cleanup: The Ocean Cleanup

Founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, Boyan Slat, went with the project team to Guatemala to explore solutions for the pollution problem in one of the most polluting rivers in the world. He shares his first impressions of what he experienced during his time there and we talk about upcoming projects for The Ocean Cleanup, the recently announced partnership with The Coca Cola Company, and what's important for future planning.

Kevin is the co-founder and Chief Development Officer of ChangeNOW, the largest impact conference in the world. Since 2017 ChangeNOW has strengthened the interconnections between actors of the impact ecosystem and inspired people by spotlighting concrete and innovative solutions to the biggest challenges facing our world. This year's free, all-online summit will feature 1000 solutions and 500 speakers from 120 countries. Click here to register for this year's online ChangeNOW 2021 summit (May 27th, 28th, 29th). In this episode Kevin and I discuss:                                              Why restlessness is a gift How to unlock meaning and engagement in the workplace A psychological trick to tap into innovation The secret to accelerating both change and impact                                         Takeaways from this episode: You don't have to have to choose between purpose-driven work and a paycheck. It's possible to have both. When you can change the narrative to be about what is possible, and the upside of it, what we can create, that sparks problem-solving. It sparks innovation. It sparks passion to actually march forward in a direction of positive change. Making a profit is not enough anymore. As a company, you need to have a mission. If you don't have a mission, you're not going to be able to sustain your company in the long run.

Cette semaine, Jeane reçoit Bruno Sainte-Rose, ingénieur en mécanique des fluides pour l'organisation néerlandaise à but non lucratif The Ocean Cleanup. Bruno a rejoint Boyan Slat, le fondateur et porteur du projet en 2015. Depuis il n'a cessé, grâce à ses connaissances techniques et sa maîtrise scientifique de réfléchir et d'innover pour proposer des solutions efficaces et pertinent permettant de nettoyer les océans du plastique qui les envahit quotidiennement. Dans cet épisode, Bruno revient sur l'histoire de ce projet extraordinaire à l'ambition démesurée. Très populaire depuis l'annonce d'une grande bouée flottante permettant de récupérer les plastiques dans la baie de San Francisco et jusqu'au 7ème continent de plastique, The Ocean Cleanup ne se contente pas de travailler à l'élaboration de ce projet. C'est ce que nous explique Bruno.

He devoted his high school science project to understanding the problem and research why cleanup was considered impossible. It became clear that a cleanup using vessels and nets would take thousands of years, cost tens of billions of dollars and harmful to sea life. There are five major plastic accumulation zones in the world where ocean currents converge. We learned about them when we featured Marcus Erickson and his company five gyres in episode 12, these accumulation zones are commonly called garbage patches. The majority of ocean plastic will not go away by itself, but instead it slowly breaks down into microplastic. Boyan came up with an idea to develop a passive concentration system. Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=hOBHXHnDS9WVA7eqZfy6WEtmVnowbHym-cAzll_lx7KQdMgS0fMG99p7SHOFLgAkhXDUWPP5ANX8gK7k50lHftvifoY&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=108.2 (01:48)) Instead of going after the plastic, he lets the plastic come to him, led by slot. Now 26, the ocean cleanup is designing and developing cleanup systems to what is already polluting our oceans into intercept plastic on its way to the ocean via rivers. Speaking of rivers, slot belt, the interceptor, the interceptor is the first scalable solution to prevent plastic from entering the world's oceans. Coming from rivers, it is a hundred percent solar powered extracts plastic autonomously, and is...
