> 50% of all plastics are single-use, as of 2018, and that share is rising

Given:

- Most microplastics comes from non-recycled plastic, and
- We have capacity to recycle ~10% of current plastic production, and
- Single-use plastics are 50% of current production, then

Conclusion:

Eliminating single use plastics (50% of current production) reduces microplastics by ~55.55%.
