Experts estimate there are five trillion pieces of plastic litter floating on the world’s oceans, discarded by a throw-away society and killing countless animals a year. It has been estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. An estimated 100 billion carrier bags are used every year in Europe – with 8 billion ending up as litter.
