Plastic pollution of earth oceans is a global challenge that brings a range of negative impacts for marine ecosystem and wilderness environments

• Majority of produced plastics are single use plastics, which, coupled with  throw-away culture, leads to the accumulation of plastic waste and pollution, as well as the loss of a valuable resource.
• 'Eco' solutions to date have focused on sustainable paper use, rather than reducing the use of plastics.
• Ignorance on the importance of end-of-life management of plastic.
• Lack of the policy and actions for a circular economy in reducing plastic waste pollution.
