Categorization of Plastic Waste on Sixty-Six Beaches in the Laurentian Great Lakes Region, North America
The Laurentian Great Lakes system serves as a significant global repository for plastic debris. Researchers sampled large micro-, meso-, and macroplastic items from an area of 10 square meters on sixty-six beaches within the Great Lakes. In total, they collected and categorized 21,592 plastic items. The most prevalent type of debris was pre-production plastic pellets, which made up 58.3% of
Science.org: Global producer responsibility for plastic pollution
Brand names can be used to hold plastic companies accountable for their items found polluting the environment. Using data from a five-year global program (2018–2022) covering 84 countries and 1,576 audit events, Science.org identified brands on plastic items found in the environment. The findings showed that 50% of the items were unbranded, highlighting the need for mandated producer reporting. The
