Speaking of the blue sea, many people may think that it is a wide and clean place. But in fact, there is already a huge garbage patch floating in the Pacific Ocean, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and this ocean garbage is mostly plastic.

Currently 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year, and that number rises almost every year. According to statistics, in 2014, 311 million tons of plastic were produced worldwide, and the weight ratio of plastic to the weight of fish in the ocean is about 1:5; And by 2050, the world will produce 1.124 billion tons of plastic per year, producing more plastic by weight than the fish in the ocean.

In the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, there are 750,000 pieces of plastic waste per square kilometer of ocean, mixed with Marine life.

Plastic is a material that is difficult to degrade and can last for centuries, and we don't know what will become of our oceans.
