Journal ArticleDOI
Production, use, and fate of all plastics ever made
TL;DR: By identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and additives, this work presents the first global analysis of all mass-produced plastics ever manufactured.

TL;DR: Assessment of three broad management strategies, plastic waste reduction, waste management, and environmental recovery, at different levels of effort to estimate plastic emissions to 2030 for 173 countries found that 19 to 23 million metric tons, or 11%, of plastic waste generated globally in 2016 entered aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Chinese import ban and its impact on global plastic waste trade.
TL;DR: Higher-income countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation have been exporting plastic waste to lower-income nations in the East Asia and Pacific for decades, illustrating that bold global ideas and actions for reducing quantities of nonrecyclable materials, redesigning products, and funding domestic plastic waste management are needed.
