The Oceans' Plastic Problem

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The world's oceans are filling up with millions of tons of plastic waste. Rebecca Henscke gives us a sense of the scale of the problem from Indonesia - among the world's biggest plastics polluters. In search of solutions, Clare Lighton investigates a scheme in Amsterdam where locals go out fishing for plastic, while celebrated yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur argues for the economic changes required to cut down our plastic waste.
