Researchers believe that by removing single-use plastic items, microplastics in the sea are significantly reduced. A recent study documented that removing plastic items from a coastline resulted in a 99.5% reduction in microplastics. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Plastics have quickly become one of the world's most prevalent environmental pollutants. 430 million tons of plastic are produced annually, with 11 million tons ending up in our oceans. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoastalCleanup

Where Ocean Plastic Actually Ends Up 😨

Negotiations over a global plastic pollution treaty collapsed on Friday as countries failed to bridge wide gaps on whether the world should limit plastic manufacturing and restrict the use of harmful plastic chemicals.

AI is helping to develop tougher plastics: Using stress-responsive molecules identified by a machine-learning model, chemists created polymers that are more resistant to tearing. 💡This could lead to more durable plastics and cut down on plastic waste.♻️ news.mit.edu/2025/ai-help...
