Argentina produces thousands of tons of plastic waste every year, and a large part ends up in rivers and the sea. These plastics do not disappear; they break down into microplastics that are already present in the Argentine Sea.

Microplastics have already been found in food and water, which means they also reach people. In Argentina, this represents a growing environmental and health risk.

Microplastics affect marine animals because many of them mistake them for food. This can cause internal damage and allows toxic substances to build up in the food chain.
