Henning Weigand-The world's plastic pollution crisis explained

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or nonexistent. But the developed world, especially in countries with low recycling rates, also has trouble properly collecting discarded plastics. Plastic trash has become so ubiquitous it has prompted efforts to write a global treaty negotiated by the United Nations. By Henning Weigand

Henning Weigand-PLASTIC IS EVERYWHERE

In 1997, Captain Charles Moore sailed from Hawaii to Southern California. There, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and far from civilization, he saw pieces of plastic floating in the oceans and drifting past his boat. He later returned to carry out further research. He did not yet know that he had discovered one of the world’s largest environmental disasters. The plastic he found turned out to not only float but to also be present in different layers of the water column. And it was not just large pieces, but mainly small pieces of plastic that had fallen apart. Moore called this phenomenon the plastic soup, a term now globally used. By Henning Weigand
