All the plastic that has ended up in the environment over the decades is still there. Due to weathering caused by sunlight, and waves, larger plastic items break down into smaller pieces but they never disappear, and more and more plastic is floating in the ocean where it finds it´s way into sea life, and eventually our human bodies. What’s for dinner? Lego sushi, credit card burgers, or a well-done piece of PVC pipe? People could be ingesting the equivalent of a credit card of plastic a week, a 2019 study by WWF International concluded. At this rate of consumption, in a decade, we could be eating 2.5kg (5.5 lb) in plastic, the equivalent of over two sizeable pieces of plastic pipe. And over a lifetime, we consume about 20kg (44 lb) of microplastic.
