1: Plastic Pollution
• Living with plastics
• What we throw away…
• Plastic pollution on our beach
• What can we do?
2: Project AWARE

Every year, more than 200 Million
tonnes of plastics are produced all over the
world.
200 Million tonnes = 200,000,000,000 kilograms!
![Page 4: Plastic Pollution In Our Ocean Ocean Elements Sdn Bhd (613001-W)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/5697bf731a28abf838c7f44f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Every week, 10 Billion plastic bags
are used around the world
10 Billion = 10,000,000,000 plastic bags!

Sadly, every year 6 Million tonnes of rubbish and thrash that we throw away end up in our Oceans.
90% of the rubbish are PLASTICS!
6 Million tonnes = 6,000,000,000
kilograms

Plastics that we throw away go into the drain, then into streams, rivers
and finally, the oceans.

Plastics take MORE THAN
450 YEARS to decompose
(i.e. to break down)
![Page 8: Plastic Pollution In Our Ocean Ocean Elements Sdn Bhd (613001-W)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/5697bf731a28abf838c7f44f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Today it is estimated that
100 Million tonnes of
plastics are FLOATING in our Oceans.

These floating plastics then
come together in areas called
the “Plastic Soup”
![Page 10: Plastic Pollution In Our Ocean Ocean Elements Sdn Bhd (613001-W)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/5697bf731a28abf838c7f44f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In the ocean, plastic materials break into smaller pieces that float in the sea water like “soup".

These tiny plastics are
then eaten by fish like this
Rainbow runner and
other marine animals

Some poor animals also
get tangled up with these
plastic materials as
they swim in the sea.
