Scientists urge 32% reduction in ocean plastic waste by 2035 to protect marine life

A groundbreaking report by Kyushu University researchers offers a critical roadmap for addressing ocean plastic pollution.

For the first time, the team has established a clear numerical target: a 32% reduction in plastic waste littering by 2035.

This reduction is crucial to prevent further harm to marine ecosystems. By mapping the flow of plastic waste in the world’s oceans, the study underscores the importance of urgent action to mitigate marine plastic pollution.
