Abstract

Since its popularization in the 1950s, plastic use has skyrocketed due to its uses in the field of social health, safety and energy. However, due to plastic’s longevity and resistance to decomposition, its widespread use has lead to an epidemic of mismanaged waste. There is now 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean and 46000 pieces in every square mile of ocean weighing up to 269000 tonnes. Plastic pollution has a direct and deadly impact on wildlife. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Endangered wildlife like the Hawaiian monk seals and pacific loggerhead sea turtles are among nearly 700 species that eat and get caught in plastic litter. Technology can be used to target hotspots of marine plastic pollution. The inventory is a tool to identify plastic pollution and cleanup technologies. However technology alone cannot solve this issue, prevention has to be carried out by reducing, reusing and recycling. As plastic waste accumulates in our oceans at alarming rates, the need for efficient and sustainable remedial solutions is urgent. The paper introduces ocean plastic pollution, elaborates it causes and treacherous hazards, discusses existing technologies working to solve this grave concern and presents potential sustainable solutions of this hot issue. Above all, innovation and prevention have to work hand in hand and they are the only major key to end this menace. Buy best UK omega replica watches online. Fast shipping. Quality guarantee.
