BIMCO has launched a campaign to raise awareness and help support the removal of single-use plastic bottles from ships. "Even if plastics on board ships are sorted, managed, and discharged to shore in a proper way, mismanagement of waste on land means it can still reach the ocean. With up to 1.75 billion plastic bottles a year being used on board ships, BIMCO believes removing unnecessary plastics is the industry's best option to help remove a source that may end up reaching the ocean," says a release from BIMCO.
