<p>
Sunlight, wind and waves break down plastic debris into smaller and smaller pieces that eventually become microplastics. Exfoliants in the health and beauty industry and the synthetic fibres used in clothes and textiles also contribute to microplastic pollution. Microplastics harm marine life – they are ingested by sea animals that mistake them for food. This then enters the human food chain.
