"We are all aware of the plastic that is floating in the ocean but [what we can see] only represents 1% of the total amount of plastic.. The rest is somewhere in the deep sea". (Elda Miramontes, the University of Bremen) . In a recent study, the University of Manchester has found that up to 1.9 MILLION plastic pieces (micro-plastics) exist PER SQUARE METER in the deep sea. How scary is that! . It is our hope that during these challenging times, we are all able to refl...ect on our current consumption habits and what happens to our plastic waste once it is taken away by waste management companies. The answer may shock you and may not be immediately obvious. .
