Humans have created over 8 billion tonnes of plastic since the 50s and only 10% of it has been recycled. Over time, plastic breaks down into tiny microplastic particles which can then hide in our water systems, homes, food and ofcourse, our oceans. It is unknown exactly how much harm microplastic pollution can cause to human health, however, ingesting microplastics is thought to expose our bodies to harmful chemicals. These chemicals could interfere with our hormone, organ, reproductive and developmental health, leading to a wide array of health issues.
