Environmental Policies and Legal Regulations
Local and international measures to combat plastic pollution
- This report was prepared by WWF-Türkiye (World Wildlife Fund) and Boğaziçi University Environmental Sciences Institute.
Plastic pollution reaches water resources through several interconnected pathways: 1. **Wind**: Lightweight plastics, especially single-use items, can be blown into rivers, lakes, or oceans, even from far-off land areas. 2. **Rainwater Runoff**: During rainfall, plastics and microplastics from urban streets and agricultural lands are carried into nearby water bodies. 3. **Sewage and Drainage Systems**: Ineffective sewage infrastructure can allow plastics and microplastics from household and industrial waste to flow into rivers and oceans. 4. **Improper Waste Management**: Inadequately managed landfills and littering can lead to plastics seeping into soil and waterways over time. 5. **Flooding Events**: Extreme weather conditions and floods mobilize large amounts of plastic waste, pushing it into streams and seas. All these factors contribute to the global issue of plastic pollution. Efforts in reducing plastic use and improving waste management systems are key to addressing these challenges.
Economic and Social Consequences
The negative economic effects of plastic pollution on tourism, fishing, and water accessibility.
Plastic pollution severely threatens marine ecosystems. Fish, turtles, seabirds, and many other aquatic organisms often mistake plastic debris for food, leading to internal injuries, blockages, and even death. Entanglement in plastic waste can restrict movement, cause wounds, or result in drowning. Moreover, toxic chemicals released from plastics accumulate in the food chain, endangering both marine life and human health. Reducing plastic use is vital to protecting ocean biodiversity.
Plastic Pollition in freshwater sourcues
The impact of plastics on ponds, lakes , rivers, and groundwater ecosystems.
Addressing plastic pollition in freshwater sourcues reguires a multifaceted approach, including
- Reducing plastic production and consumption
- İmproving Waste management and recycling sytems
- Developing altarnative materials implementing stricter regulations .
Decomposition Time of Plastics in Nature
The degradation time of plastics is quite long and varies between 100 and 1000 years, depending on the type. Non-biodegradable plastic waste gradually breaks down into microplastics, accumulating in water and soil. This harms ecosystems, enters the digestive systems of animals, and causes health problems. The prolonged presence of plastic waste disrupts ecological balance, threatening both wildlife and human health.

Environmental Problem of the 21st Century: Plastic Pollution
Today, it cannot be said that the plastic waste problem is managed well around the world. In fact, very few of the hundreds, thousands of different types of plastic can be recycled efficiently. We all need to be more sensitive to this growing problem.
