Is somebody else beating JBII to the garbage patch?...

Quote: Fairfield, NJ – September 21, 2010—Covanta Energy Corporation and Project Kaisei have joined forces to clean up ocean debris as part of a project commitment with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The partnership was formally announced today during the opening plenary at CGI’s annual meeting in New York. Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, CGI convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Both organizations are members of CGI.

Project Kaisei is a non-governmental organization focused on reducing plastic waste in the ocean. Covanta Energy is an internationally recognized owner and operator of large-scale Energy-from-Waste and renewable energy projects. Together they have committed to clean up ocean debris, beginning with the Plastic Vortex in the North Pacific Gyre; stem future plastic waste flows from entering oceans; and test a new waste-to-fuel technology for the remediation of non-recyclable plastics and plastic waste. The project will showcase how plastic, and waste in general, can have a beneficial secondary market value when properly processed, and will help initiate a larger scale cleanup effort of the ocean, aiding in the protection of marine life.


I wonder what technology they plan to use.
