Breaking the Plastic Wave on World Oceans Day

Breaking the Plastic Wave, a global analysis using first-of-its kind modeling, shows that we can cut annual flows of plastic into the ocean by about 80% in the next 20 years by applying existing solutions and technologies. No single solution can achieve this goal; rather, we can only break the plastic wave by taking immediate, ambitious, and concerted actions. The Breaking the Plastic Wave report was done in partnership with SYSTEMIQ, the University of Oxford, the University of Leeds, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Common Seas.
