Rapid Characterization of Macroplastic Input and Leakage in the Ganges River Basin

Kathryn Youngblood et al.

Summary: Efforts to understand macroplastic pollution have predominantly focused on coastal and marine environments, neglecting freshwater, terrestrial, and urban ecosystems. This study investigates the sources of macroplastics in the environment by examining plastic input and leakage. The researchers surveyed litter aggregation pathways in the Ganges River Basin and assessed single-use plastic consumer products. The findings reveal that areas with lower populations have a higher number of littered items per 1,000 people, with plastics and tobacco products being the most commonly recorded items. While most single-use plastic consumer products are manufactured in-country, a significant percentage of brands are owned by international companies.
