The plastic problem is serious. In the last 10 years, we have manufactured more plastics than in all human history. These materials account for approximately 80 percent of ocean pollution, warns Greenpeace. These figures give an idea of the urgent need for solutions. The planet can no longer sustain plastic pollution.Plastics are so much in use and in demand that we human beings cannot live without them for even one hour. We wake up in the morning and the first thing we do is to look for our mobile phones, which are made of plastic.
