A CONVERSATION WITH

Tom Dempsey :

Wrapping Up our Convening
















































































Quantifies potential plastic waste inputs into the ocean: 275 million metric
tons (Mt), generated by 192 coastal countries in 2010, with 4.8 to 12.7 million
metric tons (Mt) entering the ocean. Population size and quality of waste
management systems as primary factors.



Accounts for the fate of all plastics made: 8300 million metric tons of virgin
plastics produced to date. As of 2015, 6300 Mt plastic waste generated, 9%
recycled, 12% incinerated, 79% accumulated in landfills and natural environment.



Evaluates plastics as a pollution problem in the ocean: plastics entering the
ocean are similar to other persistent pollutants such as DDT, PCBs on land.
Evidence indicates complex toxicology of plastic micro and nanoparticles, which
transfer up the food chain, including to people.



A good overview of plastic debris in the marine ecosystem, challenges,
solutions, data gaps. Positions CA as a leader in policy and environmental
issues, and calls for further collaboration and partnership.



A summary of regional monitoring of trash/debris by SCCWRP – provides some
specific details on monitoring, data sources. Prioritizes plastic as most
prevalent, highest trash concern. Preliminary evidence for effectiveness of
bans.



California’s ocean litter prevention strategy and goals. Establishes 6 goals, to
reduce land-based litter through incentives and bans, through changes to plastic
production; to improve waste management and interception; to increase education
and awareness.




























SCROLL BACK UP TO THE TOP

Solving Data Challenges in Tracking Plastic Pollution in California

 



Virtual Convening

July 22-23, 2020




HOW MUCH MACROPLASTIC IS LEAKING FROM CA COMMUNITIES?


WHERE ARE THE SOURCE POINTS AT WHICH MACROPLASTIC BEGINS TO LEAK?


 


AT WHAT RATE IS IT INCREASING OR DECREASING?


 


 


 


AGREE ON THE COMMON CURRENCY FOR MEASUREMENT.

Where applicable, agree on a standard, define a range, or establish conversions.


AGREE ON WHERE, AND HOW, TO MONITOR FOR MACROPLASTICS.

Understanding all sources and pathways will create the clearest map of their
relative importance—but might require tradeoffs of resources.

 

OUR GOAL

To identify high-impact concepts around macroplastics monitoring, in order to
drive mitigating action in California communities.

 

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED

The group split into 6 teams, each addressing a different challenge within the
overall Plastics Monitoring Loop.
