YourdrinksToGo vs. Plastic Soup: Together against pollution

The plastic soup – it may sound harmless, but it is one of the biggest threats to our oceans and the life that lives in them. Did you know that there are an estimated 5 trillion pieces of plastic floating in the oceans? That’s so many that it’s hard to imagine. And the problem is getting bigger every day. This is mainly due to our use of disposable plastic, better known as single-use plastic. It ends up everywhere: in the air, in our rivers, on our beaches and ultimately in our oceans. The result? Giant floating islands of waste, damage to ecosystems, and even plastic in the fish we eat.

What exactly is the plastic soup?

The term 'plastic soup' refers to the pollution of our oceans by plastic waste. The problem with plastic is that it is not biodegradable. Instead, it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, so-called microplastics . These are often invisible, but pose a great danger to marine life. Many marine animals ingest the plastic, which eventually makes them sick and drastically shortens their lifespan.

• 90% of marine debris is plastic.
• Every year, approximately 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the oceans.
• By 2050, if we continue like this, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish (by weight).

How does plastic get into the oceans?

The journey of plastic to the ocean often starts on land. Think of plastic bottles, packaging, straws and other single-use items that are not disposed of properly. Rain and wind eventually carry them into rivers and carry them to the sea. Large pieces of plastic float on the surface, while microplastics sink deeper into the ocean and end up in the food of marine animals.

Why is the plastic soup a problem?

Plastic not only pollutes the water and threatens marine life, it also ends up back with us. Fish, shellfish and even the salt we sprinkle on our meals can contain traces of plastic. The plastic we bring into nature ends up back on our plates. In addition, plastic pollution also causes economic damage: beaches need to be cleaned, fishermen lose income due to polluted fish, and the tourist industry in coastal areas can be hit hard.
