Efforts to clean up ocean waste have been stymied by the sheer size of the areas in which plastic is concentrated. Traditional cleanup methods using vessels and nets to collect plastic are too expensive and time-consuming to work. For a job as arduous as this, some disruptive innovation is needed, and 20-year-old Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat claims he has created just that. The Ocean Cleanup will passively collect plastic debris in the waters between Japan and South Korea.

Companies such as Royal Dutch Shell and Procter & Gamble are now taking a nonconfrontational approach to dealing with activists' stunts. "To try and keep people's attention and keep them interested and engaged ... can be very challenging," admits campaigner Laura Kenyon
