The Global Plastic Crisis

Our oceans are facing an unprecedented pollution crisis that threatens marine life, ecosystems, and human health.

<5 mm
Microplastics are plastic pieces or fibres smaller than five millimetres.
Fragments
Plastic can break into smaller pieces without fully disappearing.
Dispersed
Ocean garbage patches contain scattered debris, not solid islands of rubbish.
Prevention
Keeping plastic out of waterways helps prevent further marine debris.
