"Although among all materials produced by mankind, the amount of plastic towers high, no summary study of its production and post-use fate has been available so far. To fill this serious gap, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Georgia along with the Sea Education Association have teamed up to produce the first comprehensive analysis that aggregates the data scattered so far. The research estimates that a total of 8,300 million (i.e. 8.3 billion!) tons of plastics were produced from 1950 to 2015."
