• Resumen

  • According to Makri, what if pieces of plastic strewn across the word's beaches ended up in brand new computer boxes, not floating in the middle of the ocean or lodged inside seabirds, that's what computer company Dell has set out to do, testing a supply chain in which litter picked up from Haiti's beaches is worked into recycled packaging. Up to 40% of plastic litter dumped on land enters the oceans each year estimated to an amount to between 4 million and 12 million tonnes in 2010.
