The Crisis of Plastic Waste
The issue of trash in our oceans and rivers is immense and urgent. The Ocean Cleanup organization reports that there are over 5 trillion pieces of plastic debris floating on the ocean's surface. Every single year, marine plastic costs the economy (6 to 19) billions of dollars affecting sectors such as tourism, fisheries and aquaculture. This pollution not only harms marine life but also threatens entire ecosystems and human health.
Additionally, rivers are significant contributors to ocean plastic pollution, with just around 3-4% of rivers transporting up to 80% of the plastic entering our oceans. The scale of the problem underscores the critical need for concerted global efforts to address plastic waste.
