Around 435 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced globally each year , with 22 million tonnes discarded in the environment.
Birds, bees, crabs and other marine life now regularly incorporate that refuse into their homes.
Octopuses and sea urchins have been observed using plastic to disguise the entrances to their homes, or settling inside plastic waste.
Theories on why animals are incorporating plastics into their habitats vary.
