Each day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes.
People are increasingly breathing, eating and drinking tiny plastic particles.
175 nations agreed in March 2022 to make the first legally-binding treaty on plastics pollution, including in the oceans, by the end of 2024 .
ExxonMobil broke down more than 45 million pounds of plastic waste last year at its massive complex in Baytown , Texas , through a process known as chemical recycling.
The Nature Conservancy , Greenpeace and other environmental advocates believe the treaty must reduce the amount of plastic that is produced and used in order to end plastic pollution.
