Plastic Waste in Africa Photo Set

An Ivorian woman collects plastic bottles to sell for recycling from the general waste at the Akouedo recycling depot and landfill site in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, 29 May 2018. According to an Ellen MacArthur Foundation report there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. Africa is one of the most affected continents due to its extensive coastline and underdeveloped waste systems allowing plastic waste to easily enter the ocean. Photo by Legnan Koula/EPA-EFE
