Ocean Plastic Lies

Those viral images of floating garbage islands? They don't tell the full story. This episode of Truth Complex by Business Insider breaks down the major misconceptions about ocean plastic. The video explains that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch isn’t a solid island of trash, but a dispersed vortex, largely made up of abandoned fishing gear rather than everyday consumer waste. It challenges the widely held belief that individual littering is the primary source of the problem, instead pointing to systemic issues with mismanaged waste and major contributors like microplastics from tires and paint. Recycling complexities and the contentious debate over ocean cleanup efforts are also explored. The episode concludes with an in-depth look at global treaty negotiations aimed at reducing plastic production, and the pushback from fossil fuel and petrochemical industries that view plastics as a growing market.
