By 2050 It is estimated that there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish! In 2016, a global population of more than 7 billion people produced over 320 million tonnes of plastic waste compared with 1.5 million tonnes in 1950 and by 2034, this figure is estimated to be double. We are drowning in plastic which is damaging to wildlife, the environment and our health.
