Teale Bondaroff, lead author of the report and director of Hong Kong-based marine conservation organization OceansAsia, said those 1.56 billion face masks are on top of the eight to 12 million metric tonnes of plastic that enter the world’s oceans annually. What’s worse is that each of those face masks could take over 400 years to degrade, all the while leaching toxic chemicals that threaten marine life. The report also found that some 52 billion face masks were produced in 2020 to make up for the sudden spike in demand shortly after the  World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Bondaroff and his colleagues also noted that the increased production of plastic face shields and personal protective equipment (PPE) generated more plastic waste as well.
