Probability of mismanaged plastic waste being emitted to the ocean
Mismanaged plastic waste is plastic that is littered or thrown away improperly. It is not securely contained in a landfill or properly managed facility, so it can escape into the environment. This data captures how likely this waste is to be emitted into the ocean based on geographical factors such as distance to coastlines, river networks, topography and rainfall patterns.
