In an interview, Howard Lack, CEO of Plastic Oceans, discusses their film project. This initiative aims to raise awareness about ocean plastic's detrimental effects on wildlife and human health, especially children, as it moves through the food chain.

Lack passionately addresses the impact of plastic toxins on developing nations, the importance of personal responsibility, and the development of solutions. He also highlights recycled plastic's potential as an energy source. Plastic Oceans provides a powerful platform, campaigning for, supporting, and funding targeted solutions to significantly reduce environmental plastic pollution.

Update

While the film was produced under the banner of Plastic Oceans UK, the charity officially rebranded to Ocean Generation in 2021. The documentary, A Plastic Ocean (2017) remains their most significant media contribution to global awareness regarding plastic waste.

You can currently find the documentary on various streaming platforms, including Netflix and Apple TV, or through educational screenings organized by the charity.
