FROM PLASTIC WASTE, AND YOU?
BACKGROUND
Plastic accumulation is one of the environmental plagues of 21st century.

Global plastic consumption has gone from 5.5 million tons in the 1950s to 110 million tons in 2009 (according to the United Nations Environmental Program). In 2017 global plastic production reached almost the 350 million tons (plasticseurope.org), suggesting a trend towards increasing plastic material production. This is occurring despite the huge problem plastic pollution is causing to the environment, and despite the potential risks for human health.
Plastic colonizes and accumulates everywhere, on land and water.

The oceans are proof of this huge problem: huge patches of plastic debris have been forming in the oceans. One of the most notorious is the Great Pacific garbage patch. This is a huge area in the Pacific ocean, with a minimum estimated size comparable to the extension of Texas.
