The Ocean Cleanup will use giant floating pipes driven by the wind, waves and currents to cleanup the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. The assembly process and testing phase has already been put into effect. Their test used 394 feet of pipe out of the planned 1,312-foot system. Following is a transcript of the video.
