15 Mar 2023 --- Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) has criticized a “misleading graphic” published by Visual Capitalist for perpetuating narratives that countries in Asia are the main contributors to oceanic plastic pollution, distracting from the “real” causes of plastic pollution. The graphic, created by Louis Lugas, is based on research from Lourens Meijer regarding which countries’ rivers are leaking the most plastic into the ocean.
