Plastic debris causes the deaths of more than a million seabirds every year, as well as more than 100,000 marine mammals.These together with plastic pellets are already found in most beaches around the world. Once discarded, plastics are weathered and eroded into very small fragments known as micro-plastics.The United Nations Environment Programme estimated in 2006 that every square mile of ocean contains 46,000 pieces of floating plastic.However, waste and disposal remain an issue in most of the world. These countries adopt an integrated waste and resource management strategy to address each waste stream with the best options.
