https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/visualized-ocean-plastic-waste-pollution-by-country/ The Philippines—an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, with a 36,289 kilometer coastline and 4,820 plastic emitting rivers—is estimated to emit 35% of the ocean’s plastic. In addition to the Philippines, over 75% of the accumulated plastic in the ocean is reported to come from the mismanaged waste in Asian countries including India, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Hardly surprises seeing all the rubbish dumped everywhere. Still handing out endless plastic bags in the stores with no idea about any environmental consequences.
