Paint Is The Largest Source Of Microplastics In The Ocean, Study Finds

Particles of paint account for more than half (58%) of all the microplastics that end up in the world’s oceans and waterways every year, according to a new study. The study by the Swiss-based Environmental Action (EA) claims that far more paint is leaking into the oceans than previously thought. Previously studies have estimated that paint accounts for between 9 and 21% of microplastics in our ocean and waterways. - Forbes
