Comment on Why the Ocean Cleanup hasn't solved the plastic pollution crisisparent

Comments

What is then the impact of dissolving plastics in a few years? Can't believe it's a zero impact scenario. We can't still figure out what microplastics do to our health. As usual the best solution is the simplest: prevent plastics to ever reach the ocean. As simple as that and that doesn't costs much

Well, it depends on the plastic, but the impact can be engineered to become fertilizer for soil.
