Oceans will have more plastics than fish by 2050 if the ongoing practice of dumping plastics continues, a World Economic Forum (WEF) report states.

In the report, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has said every year at least 8 million tonnes of plastics leak into the ocean, which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.

“If no action is taken, this is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050,” it noted.
