Ocean plastics

Most of the plastic wastage in the oceans, Earth’s last sink, flows from land. Trash is also carried to sea by major rivers, which act as carrier belts, picking up more and more wastage as they move next. Once at edge, much of the bendy wastage remains in offshore.

At least 8 million tons of bendy end up in our oceans every year. Floating plastic accurate is currently the most abundant items of marine litter. Waste plastic makes up 80% of all marine accurate from surface waters to deep-sea grounds. Plastic has been detected on shorelines of all the continents, with more plastic pit found near popular tourist stations and slowly populated areas
