HEY HERE IS THE ANSWER

Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans. Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, or macro debris, based on size.

MAIN CAUSE

The trade in plastic waste has been identified as "a main culprit" of marine litter. Countries importing the waste plastics often lack the capacity to process all the material. As a result, the United Nations has imposed a ban on waste plastic trade unless it meets certain criteria.
