…Upward of 460M metric tons of plastic are produced every year, equivalent to the weight of >300k blue whales, acc/to the UN #Environment Prgm. Much of the plastic that becomes waste are single-use products that can end up polluting #land, #waterways & #oceans. As the hardy material breaks down in the environment, it creates #microplastics — tiny particles smaller than 5mm that have been found everywhere from Antarctic snow to inside #human bodies.
