These numbers are approximations, and the true amount is likely even greater when factoring in plastic waste from land and rivers.

This global challenge is multifaceted, involving social, technical, and economic aspects. Since scientists have highlighted the issue, seeking scientific solutions is one of the paths we can take. Tackling this problem wil...
