Plastic pollution in Aquatic animals

Plastic is a petroleum-based synthetic organic polymer with qualities that make it appropriate for a wide range of uses such as packaging, building and construction, home and sports equipment, cars, electronics and agriculture. Every year, over 400 million tonnes of plastic are manufactured, half of which is used to manufacture single-use goods such as shopping bags, cups, and straws. Plastic garbage, when thrown carelessly, may impact the ecosystem and biodiversity.
