A rather disturbing report posted on Waste Dive by Cole Rosengren on Decemaber 21, 2016 tells us the following: “New research from the Rochester Institute of Technology indicates that nearly 22M lbs. of plastic trash are entering the Great Lakes from the U.S. and Canada per year. Nearly 1/2 of that plastic is ending up in Lake Michigan, followed by Erie, Ontario, Huron and Superior. The amount of plastic in Lake Michigan equals roughly 100 full-sized swimming pools filled with plastic bottles. Unlike in the ocean, many of this scrap are carried to shorelines by windy conditions & currents. Approximately 80% of the junk found on the many beaches are comprised of plastic. This report, which will be posted in the Marine Pollution Bulletin, claims to be the only full-scale look at this plastic waste in the Great Lakes. The many computer generations that were used to follow these materials found that cities like Chicago, Toronto, Elyria/Cleveland and Detroit seem to be contributing to the dilemma and often swap each other’s waste on their shores as a result. Like plastics in the ocean, much of this material was created to be too small for easy capture and attempted measures onshore are currently seen as the greatest options.
Such events include anti-litter campaigns, street washing operations and more collection determinations at the source. Baltimore now has (2) “trash wheels” which collect waste from its nearby harbor and (2) Florida cities have even invested in automatic waste collection boats to maintain cleanliness. These attempts can catch big items before they break down into lesser pieces, but many environmental groups think the clear answer is to switch packaging materials to limit the amount of plastic ending up in canals at all. While the scale of this problem in the Great Lakes may appear large, the quantity of plastic debris ending up in the world’s oceans is amply larger. The cleanup efforts are working toward introducing a prototype that can capture much of this scrap next year & companies are getting better with making products from alternative material. Preventing this product from accessing bodies of water remains a less costly, though still elusive, option.” The full article is available at: http://www.wastedive.com/news/study-22m-pounds-of-plastic-debris-enter-the-great-lakes-each-year/432847/
