Plastic packaging can leach chemicals into food and drinks. It contributes substantially to landfill waste and can create large amounts of litter, leading to wildlife endangerment.

Washing releases synthetic microfibers into waterways, contributing to microplastic pollution. These microfibers have been found in marine life and may carry health risks.

Found in personal care products, they wash into water systems, absorbing toxins, and are ingested by aquatic life, potentially entering the food chain.

Discarded or lost nets, known as 'ghost gear,' entangle and kill marine life, and can degrade into microplastics over time, posing ingestion risks to aquatic organisms.

Plastic bottles can take up to 450 years to degrade, causing long-term environmental impacts. Chemical leaching can occur, releasing substances like BPA which may affect human health.

Single-use straws contribute significantly to marine pollution; they are hard to recycle and can harm marine life through ingestion.
