8 Millon Tonnes Of Waste Dumped In Oceans In 2010

[H.B Annapurna]

Hai Alumni Members,

8 million Tonnes Of  Plastic Waste Dumped In Oceans In 2010; It Is Nearly The Amount Of Plastic Generated Gloably In 1961

For The First Time, Researchers Have Quantified The Amount Of Plastic Waste Entering Ocean From Land.

The Results Of Study Were Published In The Journal Science On February 13

20 Countries Accounted For 83% Of Mismanaged Plastic That Entered The Ocean

India, With 0.6 million Tonnes A Year Of mismanaged Plastic Waste, Is Ranked 12th.

China Ranks With 8.82 million tonnes A year. There Are 11 Asain Nd South East Asain Countries On The List, Including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Burma.

The Cumulative amount Of Plastic Debris That Would Enter The Ocean In The Next Decade will Be More  Double The 2010 Figure In The Absence Of Any Improvement To Waste Management Systems In The 192 Coastal Countries.

In 2010, 275 million Tonnes Of Plastic Was Generated In The 192 Coastal Countries.

It Is Unlikely That A Global "Peak Waste" Will Be Reached Before 2100.

TAKE CARE ALARM HAS ALREADY RUNG
