one figure i found is that 10% of plastic in the ocean is old fishing nets.

it's bullshit to shift the blame to any of the players, when everybody is to blame.

idk if this is still true, but things like toothpaste, shampoo, etc. contain/contained micro-plastic as abrasive. plastic fibers from washing clothes can't be removed by regular water treatment. etc.

everything plastic which is in contact with water/the environment will very likely end up as micro-plastic. the only way to prevent micro-plastic is to collect and burn plastic.
