They are accumulated extensively in natural ecosystems due to their durability, improper waste management and irresponsible use. They do not degrade naturally and pollute natural ecosystems, such as oceans and rivers. Plastics of all sizes, shapes as well as origins are widespread in the marine environment a negative have an impact on a variety of marine species that ingest or become entangled in plastics.
