To help mitigate plastic pollution, we need to know where it is and where it comes from. Laurent Lebreton @modellinghouse overviews the oceanic garbage patches in this Comment nature.com/articles/s4301… free: rdcu.be/cZjOP
BREAKING: Our study, published today in @SciReports, reveals that 75% — 86% (by weight) of plastic debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) comes from fishing activities at sea. (1/6)
Pollution from #microplastics & anthropogenic fibres threatens lakes, but what determines its accumulation? Survey of 67 lakes shows that economic & environmental factors predict #microparticle pollution @ecochangegroup @modellinghouse &co #PLOSBiology plos.io/3Ai2Pm0
I am delighted to share with you one of our latest publication in @naturesustainab nature.com/articles/s4189… marinelitterlab.eu #MarinePollution #marinelitter
This is an excellent narrative piece from @lebult at @voxdotcom showcasing our research on the mystery surrounding the whereabouts of ocean plastics. Thank you for the great work! youtube.com/watch?v=fsjvwQ…
Where is the plastic accumulating on coastlines and the ocean coming from? Our new research published last week in @ScienceAdvances shows that our discarded #plastic waste is transported at sea by many more #rivers than previously thought. theoceancleanup.com/sources/
Excited to share our new study published today @IOPPublishing, in which we show that microplastics are not equally missing from the sea surface in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…
Our research on deep sea microplastics fallout under the North Pacific subtropical convergence zone was published today in @SciReports. Congratulations @oceanegger for this new important study!

Our research on the age demographics of global plastic pollution and what it means for the future health of the oceans was published yesterday in Scientific Reports. #MissingPlastic #PlasticArcheology nature.com/articles/s4159…
Laurent Lebreton, @modellinghouse, has shared how his highly-cited article on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch came about in an exclusive interview #climatechange #microplastics go.nature.com/2wVrRsf
Where mismanaged plastic waste is generated and possible paths of change.
Where mismanaged plastic waste is generated and possible paths of change.
Our manuscript "Future scenarios of global plastic waste generation and disposal" was published in @PalCommsOA today, discussing investment in waste management infrastructure & reduction in plastic consumption to slow plastic inputs into the environment. nature.com/articles/s4159…
