Why recycle plastic ?
Recycling plastic helps reduce ocean pollution, conserve natural resources, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. By recycling, we prevent plastics from ending up in landfills or waterways, support a circular economy, and protect marine wildlife from plastic ingestion and entanglement.
How does plastic end up in the ocean?
Plastic reaches the ocean through stormwater runoff, rivers, illegal dumping, and poorly managed landfills. Lightweight plastic items like bags, straws, and packaging materials can travel long distances from urban areas to waterways, eventually polluting marine environments.
How many tons of plastic are in the ocean?
It’s estimated that there are more than 170 trillion plastic particles, weighing over 2 million tons, floating in the world’s oceans. This number continues to grow due to poor waste management, increased plastic production, and lack of global recycling infrastructure.
How much plastic ends up in the oceans ?
Each year, over 11 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the oceans, according to environmental studies. This figure is projected to triple by 2040 if significant changes aren’t made. Ocean plastic pollution harms marine life, disrupts ecosystems, and contributes to the global climate crisis.
