Plastic waste – The new habitat in the sea
This film explores an exciting new habitat: the so-called PLASTISPHERE. Plastic waste in the world’s oceans is actually a huge problem in today’s society and a threat to our marine ecosystem. But what if we were to think differently about this well-known phenomenon? Plastic waste can not only be seen as a problem – it also creates a whole new habitat for small organisms, the effects of which we are not yet aware of. PLASTISPHERE gives a unique insight behind the scenes of marine research and shows the previously unknown consequences of plastic waste in the world’s oceans.
