Breaking the Plastic Wave: A Comprehensive Assessment of Pathways Towards Stopping Ocean Plastic Pollution

Recognizing global ocean plastic pollution crisis, this comprehensive report presents a first-of-its-kind model that quantifies key plastic flows, estimates the quantity of ocean plastic pollution expected under six scenarios between 2016 and 2040, and assesses the economic, environmental, and social impacts of these scenarios. These analyses conclude that through ambitious, system-wie strategy and the collaboration of policymakers, industry executives, investors, and civil society leaders, the international community can stem the growing sources of plastic pollution and stop it from reaching the ocean.
