But at least 8 million tons of plastic leaks into the ocean each year. That's equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute! The best research currently available estimates that there's over 150 million tons of plastic in the ocean today. Single use plastic packaging represents most of that leakage (The New Plastics Economy, 2016). | $72.8K | Grant | May 12, 2022 | http://www.terravive.com |
