For today post, we are going to look at types of plastic. My last science post, I had posted about 'World or Plastic?', if you haven't seen it, please check it out. This post is similar to my last science post. Here are seven types of plastic!
For today's post, we are going to look at a part in ocean pollution which is ruining the ocean and making it polluted, plastic. This pollution is called Plastic pollution, which includes plastic bottles, plastic bags and more. This topic refers to two posts that I've posted, How many are there?, and It's the Sea of Garbage!!. Because it shows how polluted our oceans are. There is more plastic in the ocean than any other item. Life without plastic is impossible, right? Plastic has been a problem and we should know about the dangers. This is a video from UN Environment (United Nations Environment Programme) and Clean Seas campaign.
Data
Facts
It is estimated that we've produced around 300 million tons of plastic each year.
There is 9% which is recycled, 12% which is burned and 79% which is wandering in our ocean.
According to the recent studies from Worldwatch Institute, it is estimated that there is 268,940 tons of plastic are currently floating in the world’s oceans.
What I've Learnt?
The global/world production has been increasing since 1950.
Most of the plastic is used for packaging.
