Following the success of the Interceptor 005 in Malaysia, supported by Coldplay and christened as ‘Neon Moon I’, we will now deploy a second Interceptor, currently in assembly, destined for the Cisadane River in Jakarta, Indonesia: the Interceptor 020, also known as ‘Neon Moon II’.
On November 15, Boyan Slat, founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, and members of Coldplay announced the renewal of the alliance, as the band prepared to kick off the next phase of their successful Music of the Spheres world tour in Jakarta. In addition to their support with Interceptor 005, Coldplay has been showcasing footage of The Ocean Cleanup’s operations to their fans before their performances, spreading the message to millions of music lovers worldwide.
The Interceptor 005, along with Interceptor 002, has been instrumental in The Ocean Cleanup’s operations in the Klang River in Malaysia, preventing over one million kilograms of plastic from reaching the oceans and contributing to a cleaner environment for the local community. Both The Ocean Cleanup and Coldplay are proud to continue working together to address this global challenge with ‘Neon Moon II’.
> “It’s very exciting for us to have Coldplay on board and to be making such a big impact together against plastic pollution in Asia,” said Boyan Slat. “We greatly appreciate Coldplay’s help and we look forward to seeing ‘Neon Moon II’ in action intercepting waste soon.”
We are grateful for the financial support of all partners who have made this project possible. The deployment of Interceptor 020 is part of The Ocean Cleanup’s Global Implementation Alliance.
