Dame Ellen MacArthur emphasizes the need for bold, urgent action against plastic pollution. A comprehensive 2020 study, "Breaking the Plastic Wave," by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, reveals a stark future: without intervention, ocean plastic entering the environment will nearly triple by 2040, and total ocean stocks will quadruple. This aligns with earlier warnings that plastic could outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050.

The study confirms that a circular economy for plastic is the only effective solution, a vision already embraced by over 850 organizations globally. Discover more about this critical research and its pathways to stopping ocean plastic pollution here.
