The majority of the debris found in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is plastic, accounting for approximately 90% of the total debris. This plastic waste includes items such as bottles, bags, and microplastics, which are harmful to marine life and ecosystems. The persistence of plastic in the ocean poses significant environmental challenges, as it can take hundreds of years to decompose. Efforts to clean up and reduce plastic pollution are ongoing but face numerous logistical and economic challenges.
