One of the most dangerous threats to the natural environment in the modern world is marine litter. This is the result of irresponsible human activity, e.g. inadequate production and overproduction, consumption, ineffective waste management system, circular economy system, legal regulations, etc. Nowadays, it is estimated that there are about 269,000 tons of waste (5.25 trillion items, mainly plastics) on the ocean area of 16 million square kilometers.
