Yes. A small number of rapidly-developing countries, primarily in Southeast Asia, account for more than 50% of the solid waste that enters our oceans. As these regions grow, the population enjoys a more modern way of living, including an increase in the use of plastics. However, these countries do not yet have the infrastructure to collect and manage the ever-increasing amounts of waste. This means debris winds up in rivers and dumpsites that eventually feed into our oceans. The Declaration of the Global Plastics Associations for Solutions on Marine Litter empowers organizations around the world to launch initiatives that reduce marine litter.
