How Plastic Gets In Our Food

Plastic pollution is more than just an issue for marine life. As plastic debris breaks down into smaller particles, it's ingested by fish and other animals. When they do so, they are also consuming the chemical toxins attached to the plastic. These toxins pass through the bloodstream, bio-accumulating into the fatty tissue and around organs. When animals use the stored fat, the toxins circulate around the body, interfering with reproduction, metabolism, growth, kindney and liver function. And guess what? As we consume fish and other marine life, those same toxins are absorbed to our system - thus entering the human food chain.
