I would check that the print bed is heating evenly. Everyone has mentioned cleaning, that’s definitely a good start, too. But it looks like bands where it’s not sticking. From the image’s perspective, about 1/3 up is a band of poor adhesion, and then at the far end of the plate. IDK how the heating elements are designed, but that could be a. Issue. Otherwise the build plate is warped in almost an “S” shape. Some leveling will help, but not fix a warped bed.

Also, the material deposition looks very thin in general. Make sure the z-step is set correctly, slow down the first layer print, and make sure the temperatures of the bed and hotend are right.

I have an older printer with a warped bed and basically brute force the adhesion with a slightly thicker base layer and then normal layers after that.
