Global Plastics Production affecting Oceans
Introduction
The journal is based on reviewing few reliable and well-researched articles of top
journals over a recent topic of ocean science. This paper is a detailed as well as well-
structured review post reading, evaluating and analyzing the core content of relevant articles.
In this way, articles review paper will be based on the modern ocean science themes. This
sustainability-concerned era, is facing many globalization concerned issues and plastics
oceans is one of them (IUCN, 2019).
In the year 2017, global production of plastics has reached 348 million metric tons;
hence this is a critical situation for the oceans as entire waste contained plastics are getting
disposed into world oceans (IUCN, 2019). Thus, this paper will highlight the issues,
challenges and crisis related to globalization in the context of ocean science.
Global Plastics Production (GPP) affecting Oceans
In general, there are certain reasons why GPP is affecting oceans and life of marine
creatures. In this context, plastic is water resistant, light, insulating to electricity and heat as
well as remarkably durable (Cheung, Watson, & Pauly, 2013). Besides, plastic is very
economical to manufacture. In the beginning, when plastic started being manufactured
commercially during the 1950s, global people observed their enthralling properties as
revolutionary for the world. It happened because the starting focus was on manufacturing,
without even a little thought of how problematic disposal might be (Koushal, 2014). In
addition, world is facing a plastic pollution problem all over the landscape, oceans, sea and
free spaces (Law, 2017).
