The event began with the 2016 film “A Plastic Ocean,” a beautifully filmed, emotionally devastating overview of the ubiquitous Thisrequires plastic waste generation to be reduced by 40% in HI, 35% in UMI and LMI, and 25% in LI countries compared with the BAU trajectory. Levels of managed waste must reach 99% in HI and UMI countries, 80% in LMI countries, and 60% in LI countries. Recovery of 40% of annual global emissions by 2030 is needed ( Fig. 1A and Plastictends to float and bobbing on the surface can lead them to be mistaken for other marine life.
