A new study has found that more than half of the branded plastic pollution found in the environment is linked to 56 companies.

@dgar I guess my immediate thought is: which companies aren't in the list that we would kind of expect to be there?

Things like fishing nets, PET barrels, styrofoam things... these all turn up in massive quantities but most of them don't have names of companies attached. And they almost certainly don't have the name of the company that bought them and used them and then dumped them.

If there's no styrofoam box manufacturers in that list, then it's not because we didn't find any styrofoam in the sea...
