🌊 Understanding Plastic Pollution: The Facts You Need to Know

Plastic pollution is one of the most urgent environmental issues of our time. At Ocea Clean, we’re committed to raising awareness and offering real solutions. Here are the key facts you need to know — and how you can be part of the change.

1. 📈 The Scale of the Problem

• Each year, the world produces 300+ million tonnes of plastic, and a huge portion ends up in oceans.
• Most plastics take hundreds of years to break down, causing long-lasting damage.

2. 🐠 Impact on Marine Life

• Plastic debris can entangle or choke marine animals, leading to injury or death.
• Microplastics are now found in fish and seafood — raising concerns for ecosystems and human health.

3. ♻️ The Role of Single-Use Plastics

• Everyday items like plastic bottles, bags, and straws are major contributors to ocean waste.
• Once discarded, they break into microplastics that persist for generations.
• The solution is simple: reduce reliance on disposables and choose reusable, refillable systems.

4. 🌱 How You Can Help

Every action makes a difference:

• Choose reusable products over throwaways.
• Support refill systems and brands that prioritise zero single-use plastic (like Ocea Clean).
• Join local clean-up events to remove waste from your community.
