Plastic waste

It may seem as if ocean pollution may be dismissive and to a certain degree overexagerated

HOW MUCH WASTE

However

approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution is disposed to the ocean surface,

Approximatetly 5.25 trillion pieces floating in the open ocean.

Significantly taking up large parts of the ocean surface area and by tonnage

It could also be approximated that every square mile of ocean has more than 45,000 approximate pieces of plastic floating in it.

That is massive, ocean is literally the 79 % of the world is the ocean

WASTE

If by perpetuall belief, you believe that landfills is capable of diverting the problem, you are not alone, about 79 % of all plastic waste is on land fills, however as situated near the ocean in many cases, most plastic from landfills ends up in the ocean, as a result ox poor infrastructure, whi h in one case the solution could be better land fills or grounded infrastructure


Where as only 9% is recycled, and 12% is destroyed

RECYCLING

300 million tons of plastic is newly produced every year, half pf which is used only once

Where as 8 million tonnes are dumped into the ocean, 150 million metric tonnes in our ocean remain, which could essengially clinge half of world yearlu supply alone, coupled land fill waste which account for 26.8 million tonnes, almost entirely clearing world supply of plastic alone,

However an additional 14 billion pounds of garbage, through cruise liners and cargo ships which
