Every year, at least 8 million tons of plastic is going into the
world’s oceans.
That’s equal to 1
garbage truck of
plastic every minute.
If no changes are made, there will be more
plastics than fish in the oceans by 2050.Ellen MacArthur Foundation, January 2016

“To conduct their analysis, the researchers purchased four different commercial
teas packaged in plastic teabags. The researchers cut open the bags, removed
the tea leaves and washed the empty bags. Then, they heated the teabags in
containers of water to simulate brewing conditions. Using electron microscopy, the
team found that a single plastic teabag at brewing temperature released about
11.6 billion microplastic and 3.1 billion nanoplastic particles into the water. These
levels were thousands of times higher than those reported previously in other
foods.”
