BREAKING: Our study, published today in @SciReports, reveals that 75% — 86% (by weight) of plastic debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) comes from fishing activities at sea. (1/6)

Pollution from #microplastics & anthropogenic fibres threatens lakes, but what determines its accumulation? Survey of 67 lakes shows that economic & environmental factors predict #microparticle pollution @ecochangegroup @modellinghouse &co #PLOSBiology plos.io/3Ai2Pm0

This is an excellent narrative piece from @lebult at @voxdotcom showcasing our research on the mystery surrounding the whereabouts of ocean plastics. Thank you for the great work! youtube.com/watch?v=fsjvwQ…

Where is the plastic accumulating on coastlines and the ocean coming from? Our new research published last week in @ScienceAdvances shows that our discarded #plastic waste is transported at sea by many more #rivers than previously thought. theoceancleanup.com/sources/

Excited to share our new study published today @IOPPublishing, in which we show that microplastics are not equally missing from the sea surface in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…

Our research on deep sea microplastics fallout under the North Pacific subtropical convergence zone was published today in @SciReports. Congratulations @oceanegger for this new important study!

Accumulation of floating plastic debris in ocean garbage patches likely to impact deep-sea life through fallout of small and once buoyant plastic fragments. Check out our new study published today in @SciReports. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our research on the age demographics of global plastic pollution and what it means for the future health of the oceans was published yesterday in Scientific Reports. #MissingPlastic #PlasticArcheology nature.com/articles/s4159…

Where mismanaged plastic waste is generated and possible paths of change.

In our quest to rid the oceans of plastic, our research team continues to push boundaries in the realm of plastic pollution science. Today, our lead oceanographer published his global assessment of plastic waste generation in @PalCommsOA. Read more: theoceancleanup.com/updates/where-…



Our manuscript "Future scenarios of global plastic waste generation and disposal" was published in @PalCommsOA today, discussing investment in waste management infrastructure & reduction in plastic consumption to slow plastic inputs into the environment. nature.com/articles/s4159…
