Floating macrolitter leaked from Europe into the ocean
New study published, with ISPRA cooperation, in Nature Sustainability reveals that Rivers are the main conduits for human litter transferred from land to the ocean. A new study shows that European countries release more than 600 million floating macrolitter items (> 2.5 cm) to the ocean in a single year. Plastic is the principal litter material observed in rivers across Europe. Eight out of 10 litter items are made of plastic, including single-use plastics such as bottles, packaging (like food wrappers), and bags. Almost 40% of the floating litter are pieces of plastic (fragments of larger items), meaning many plastic items begin to fragment in the river basins before reaching the ocean.
