How much plastic is floating in the world’s oceans? By the latest estimate, more than 170 trillion pieces. According to new analysis from the 5 Gyres Institute, a global nonprofit targeting plastic waste, that’s approximately 2 million tonnes – or about twice the weight of the Titanic. Plastic pollution is having a devastating effect on marine life, and by 2040 could outweigh fish in the ocean.
