“It shows that the ocean is not only a sink but also a source of microplastics,” Melanie Bergmann, a marine ecologist who was not involved in the study, told Grist in an email. Steve Allen said that the same process of microplastic ejection is likely happening out at sea, and in other bodies of water like rivers and lakes.

Thirteen research reports have just been published, which aim to boost the water sector’s knowledge of microplastics and further the understanding of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in wastewater treatment processes.

When plastic debris end up in the ocean, they break into smaller microplastics, often invisible to the human eye, that swirl in the water column or sink to the bottom of the sea. Ocean Cleanup says it collected 83,000 pieces, of which 50 had production dates, but only found one object dated past 2010. And even if.06

By 2030, it expects demand for seafood to be 30 percent higher than 2010 levels. If the sourcing is done carefully, fake fish also should be devoid of the mercury and microplastics that can stem from ocean plastic pollution. Plant-based seafoods are spawning in the freezers and aisles of mainstream stores.

It was recorded in 2010 that “94% of households recycled or reused plastic bottles,” (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2010, para. Then there is the energy investment required. The true cost of plastic bottle production, then, in both economical and ecological terms, is nothing less than staggering.

Based on its assessment of 87 publicly traded plastics companies across the EU's 27 member states, which make up 75 per cent of plastic production across the trading bloc, the think tank said the industry's economic turnover was already flatlining with zero growth recorded between 2010 and 2019.

Unlike finding answers to dealing with microplastics in the ocean, or perfecting carbon capture before the planet crosses critical temperature thresholds, restoring the night sky is fairly easy. Ornithologists report that when lit , hundreds of birds circle inside the beams, trapped by the light.
