Several factors contributed to the pandemic-related surge in plastic pollution, according to a September report in Science Magazine (bit.ly/3mK7abS)

The pandemic-related plastic pollution surge, explained

As the price of petroleum fell during the pandemic, it became cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle

The current satellite revolution is opening up new possibilities in this area and could allow for more accurate identification of these plastics floating in the oceans before they cause damage or decompose. 👉 bit.ly/3uvh2sm & bit.ly/3uoZpKI

The LEMA investigations have helped to identify the sectors concerned by marine pollution and to work with them to find solutions. In parallel, various initiatives are underway to prevent marine litter, such as the EU "Indigo" project. For more info : bit.ly/3d4SSOC

🧐 Check out these studies on seabirds and #microplastics and their results. 🤔 It appears that just #recycling is not the solution to our #plastic pollution problem, and that broader policy action is needed. Do you agree? wbur.org/earthwhile/2020/10/…

Study: Most Of The Plastic Found In Seabirds’ Stomachs Was Recycleable

In a study of great shearwaters, most of the plastic found in the birds was recyclable polyethylene. To the scientists, the preliminary results add to the growing pile of evidence that recycling is...

We need to make all the efforts we can to stop plastic pollution on #ourocean. But of course #MarineLitter issue starts on land and it is on the source of the problem where we will be more effective tracking this problem. news.mongabay.com/2020/11/cl…

Clean up efforts won’t solve the plastic pollution crisis in the world’s seas

The Ocean Cleanup is a highly touted nonprofit with the ambitious goal of cleaning up 90 percent of the ocean’s plastic. In reality, the initiative’s impact on the world’s floating debris would be...
