Plastic has been a revolutionary material in the 20th century, improving our lives in various ways. However, the mismanagement and lack of awareness regarding its environmental impact have resulted in a serious problem known as Garbage Islands.
Garbage islands also referred to as “plastic islands” or “garbage vortexes,” are areas in the oceans where plastic waste and other debris accumulate due to ocean currents and gyres. These islands form when plastic debris from rivers or shorelines enters the oceans.
