The beauty of the sea must be protected: it is a precious element that occupies 70% of our planet, playing a fundamental role for the survival of living beings.
The Mediterranean Sea, like all marine waters in the world, is increasingly invaded by plastic. Approximately 229,000 tonnes of plastic waste is dumped each year, the equivalent of over 500 shipping containers a day. According to a report published in 2020 by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (lucn), Italy alone disperses 34,000 tons/year.
