• We develop a system dynamics model to study the issue of plastic debris in the ocean.
• Technological solutions alone cannot solve ecological issues in a growing economy.
• Significant ocean cleanup requires removing at least 135 million tons of plastics.
• Such a removal effort might cost up to €708 billion, i.e., 1% of the world GDP.
• A diverse portfolio of solutions, in the ocean and on land also, performs better.
