Plastic pollution: a dual global challenge
Plastic products are a significant, harmful, and persistent part of marine litter, accounting for over 85% of the total marine litter. These plastics not only directly threaten the survival of marine organisms, but also indirectly pose a serious threat to biodiversity by damaging marine ecosystems, thereby having profound impacts on human health.
The harm of plastic pollution is not limited to landfill and environmental damage, but also reflected in greenhouse gas emissions. The production and disposal of plastics have become the second largest environmental concern in the world after climate change.
