Plastic flow into ocean expected to triple by 2040, action could stem tide more than 80%
July 24, 2020By
A new analysis finds that without immediate and sustained action, the annual flow of plastic into the ocean could nearly triple by 2040. The study also identifies solutions that could cut this volume by more than 80% using technologies available today, if key decision-makers make system-wide changes.
