Preventive measures can ultimately solve the issue of plastic pollution. What are they?

Improvement of waste management, law enforcement, education, good governance, regulations, ban of single-use plastics, non-fossil plastics, alternative packaging, eco conception of products, etc.

When plastic pollution will be behind us?

It will take decades, at best. In addition factors like lasting poverty and a lack of understanding tend to slow down the efforts. But this impact can gain momentum when the preventative measures are combined and embedded over time.

What will happen if we don’t also collect plastics?

Only a very small percentage of the plastics can be collected after they have left the coastlines and we cannot afford to have plastics increase. Ultimately the accumulation of plastics will kill the ocean and then us.
