Plastic waste is widespread in the ocean. It can be found on beaches, in marine animals, and even in the depths of the Mariana Trench. One of the biggest problems is discarded fishing nets, which account for nearly ten percent of all plastics in the world’s oceans, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. A recycling initiative from Envalior is working to provide a local solution to this global problem.
