- UV degradation breaks plastics into microplastics <5mm — chemical bonds intact, creating near-permanent pollution - 94% of ocean plastic is on the seafloor, not the surface — the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" is diffuse, not an island - The Ocean Cleanup System 002: 100+ tons/year capacity vs. 11 million tons entering annually — surface collection is not the solution - What works: PETase plastic-eating enzymes, upstream EPR legislation, chemical recycling vs. mechanical recycling efficiency
