Bags, bottles, straws and plates - about half of the plastic used every day is used only once and then thrown away.
This disposal after a single use is causing widespread damage to oceans, habitats and food chains, and environmental organisations have said that needs to stop.
A new report from the World Wide Fund for Nature documents a dramatic rise in the production of single-use plastics: Since the year 2000, we have used more plastics than in all the years that came before.
The world now produces nearly 300 million tonnes of plastic every year, and most of it is not being recycled.
To tackle the problem, the group has called for an international agreement banning single-use plastics and said companies responsible for producing the waste should be responsible for cleaning it up.
Al Jazeera's Sara Khairat has more.

Okay the vast majority of plastic that are in the ocean such as particles are from textile made from polyester after washing, but it is still important not to throw trash in the ocean and to recycle, but people cleaning their polyester clothing are the main problem of plastic currently polluting the ocean that need to be acknowledged as well by putting a filter on their washing machine.

We should maintain plastic use at least and keep plastic away from the arena of Ocean. Otherwise this green world on day will become dummy world
