STOP THE PLASTIC SOUP

For the first time, it’s calculated how much plastic ends in the oceans: at least 5 billion tons a year.

Nineteen times more than thought.

• Without measures, the plastic soup will increased thirty times in 2025! 
• For certain marine animal populations, almost every animal has plastic in its stomach
• And every year, 8 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean
