Answer :-
Most plastics won’t degrade for hundreds of years. Among the biggest culprits are polyethylene, used in a lot of consumer packaging, nylon, used in fishing nets and PET, used in drinking bottles.
350 million metric tons of plastics is produced every year. Of this, around ten million tons end up in the oceans. Most of that comes from ten big rivers, most of them in Asia (China is the biggest contributor to plastics in the oceans).
We don’t know the extent of how much this will hurt ecosystems and ourselves (by way of micro plastics entering our food), but the evidence so far doesn’t look good.
This is one of the biggest environmental catastrophes we are facing, and we need to get our act together rapidly.
