🚨 Styrofoam overflow – Our barriers in East Java are catching so much styrofoam, one of the most harmful types of plastic polluting our waterways. The white styrofoam you see in this video, or Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is made up of 98% air and quickly breaks down into tiny particles, which are almost impossible to collect. Through our barriers, we are able to prevent this plastic from reaching the ocean, before it starts breaking down into small particles. This barrier alone has caught an impressive 7,173 kg of waste since it was installed.

I don't understand why it's not brought to the place where all the collected waste is brought in the first place. why and how is it ending up in the sea. I think money should be spend on teaching instead of cleaning.

How many countries have banned its uncontrolled disposal, with significant penalties for violations ? The wastes that become much more unmanageable, and a bigger problem, are more toxic, etc. should ideally invite such bans, and monitoring, urgently.
