Plastic ocean pollution, a component of marine litter, injures and kills marine life, spreads toxins, and poses a potential threat to human health. This issue has been dramatically elevated in the past two years as better data became available:
A key 2015 study concluded that the ocean contains far more degraded plastic than previously believed. The ocean contains an estimated 150 million tons of plastic, with 8 million tons added annually-equivalent to a garbage truck load every minute.
A 2016 Ellen MacArthur Foundation study predicted oceans will contain more plastic than fish by 2050 if no actions are taken to reduce the flow of plastics into waterways.
