Summary

This Oceana report estimates how much PET plastic bottle pollution from 76 coastal countries enters the ocean and models the potential reduction if refillable bottles captured a larger market share. The analysis finds that a shift toward refillables could meaningfully reduce the volume of single-use plastic bottles reaching the ocean.
