Zusammenfassung
Plastic waste finds its way to the ocean often through rivers: it is estimated that between 1.15 and 2.41 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean every year from rivers. Out of the 1500+ rivers that are estimated for being responsible for 80% of the riverine plastic emissions, around 70 of these rivers are located in Vietnam which highlights the importance of further investigating the plastic waste situation in its rivers.
