This Country Just Hit a Major Milestone in the Fight Against Plastic Pollution

There’s promising news from Down Under—plastic pollution along Australia’s coastlines is now at its lowest level in a decade. A nationwide survey found a 39% drop in plastic waste compared to ten years ago, with some areas seeing a complete absence of plastic debris.

The study, conducted by Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, also revealed a 16% increase in pristine, plastic-free coastal zones. Researchers visited six metropolitan regions across the country, from Perth to Hobart, to measure the impact of pollution reduction efforts. While certain waste types like cigarette butts and polystyrene still pose challenges, scientists say the overall trend is a sign of real progress.

This data is already helping experts fine-tune policies and education campaigns to reduce plastic even further. With a national goal to cut 80% of plastic waste entering the environment by 2030, Australia is well on its way to cleaner, healthier coastlines for both wildlife and people.
