Fewer than 60 multinationals are responsible for more than half of the world’s plastic pollution, with six responsible for a quarter of that.
The bulk of the rubbish collected was single-use packaging for food, beverage, and tobacco products.
For every percentage increase in plastic produced, there was an equivalent increase in pollution in the environment.
The team behind the study said their findings emphasised the urgent need for a globally binding treaty focusing on production measures.
However, Kartik Chandran , an environmental engineer at Columbia University , said that while this new data was striking, it was “a bit unrealistic” and “simplistic” He said the data did not consider plastic pollution in China , Korea and Japan .
