Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean
Jenna Jambeck,Roland Geyer,Chris Wilcox,Theodore R. Siegler,Miriam E. Perryman,Anthony L. Andrady,Ramani Narayan,Kara Lavender Law +7 more
TL;DR: This work combines available data on solid waste with a model that uses population density and economic status to estimate the amount of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean, which is estimated to be 275 million metric tons.

Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the marine environment
TL;DR: The mechanisms of generation and potential impacts of microplastics in the ocean environment are discussed, and the increasing levels of plastic pollution of the oceans are understood, it is important to better understand the impact of microPlastic in the Ocean food web.
Journal ArticleDOI
River plastic emissions to the world's oceans.
Laurent Lebreton,Joost Van Der Zwet,Jan Willem Damsteeg,Boyan Slat,Anthony L. Andrady,Julia Reisser +5 more
TL;DR: A global model of plastic inputs from rivers into oceans based on waste management, population density and hydrological information is presented to provide baseline data for ocean plastic mass balance exercises, and assist in prioritizing future plastic debris monitoring and mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications and societal benefits of plastics.
Anthony L. Andrady,Mike A. Neal +1 more
TL;DR: The history, from 1600 BC to 2008, of materials that are today termed ‘plastics’ are explained and some of the potential applications of plastic over the next 20 years are given.
