Ocean plastic-trapping device caught 290,299kg of trash - including a fridge, and toilet seats

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, around 1,931 kilometres from shore, sits a giant vortex of rubbish known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The site is home to more than 27 trillion pieces of plastic - the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world.
