Amazon.com Inc. has announced a new partnership with The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit dedicated to removing plastic pollution from the world's oceans and rivers. This collaboration will utilize Amazon Web Services' (AWS) advanced artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing technologies to enhance The Ocean Cleanup's efforts to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) and achieve a 90% reduction in floating ocean plastic by 2040. By integrating AWS's AI-powered detection systems and cloud infrastructure, the partnership aims to increase the efficiency of plastic cleanup operations globally, thereby protecting marine ecosystems and preventing plastic from breaking down into harmful microplastics. This initiative not only accelerates ocean cleanup but also sets a precedent for how technology can be harnessed to address critical environmental challenges.
