據外媒報道，世界經濟論壇（World EconomicForum）警告，如果按重量計算，到2050年全球海洋中的塑料將比魚多。
全世界塑料使用量巨大，然而只有14%的塑料包裝回收。到了2030年，排入海洋的塑料量，相當于每分鐘倒入兩卡車量；到了2050年，可能增至每分鐘4輛車。因此，報告警告，2050年海洋中的垃圾量將多過魚類。
部分原文報道如下：
The world's oceans will contain more plastics than fish by 2050 as plastic, mostly packaging, enters the seas at the rate of a garbage truck-load a minute, a new report has warned.
Massive volumes of plastic packaging are being thrown away after one use, the report by the World Economic Forum has found while only 14 per cent of plastic packaging is collected for recycling.
