Microplastics in the Great Lakes

22M
lbs of plastic enter the Great Lakes each year
40M
people rely on the Great Lakes for drinking water

The Great Lakes hold 84% of North America's surface fresh water — and some of the highest documented freshwater microplastic concentrations on Earth. This section translates the data into something readable.

By the Numbers

What the research shows

~11.6 billion
microplastic particles released by a single plastic mesh tea bag steeped in hot water
7–50mg
plastic shed per use by a plastic cutting board — directly into food
700,000
microfibers shed per wash by a single synthetic clothing item
43,000+
microplastic particles per km² at the Great Lakes surface (Eriksen, Mason et al., 2013)
40 million
people drink from the Great Lakes — which hold 84% of North America's surface fresh water
90%
of Great Lakes water samples over the past decade exceed concentrations linked to potential harm to wildlife
The Project

"We make microplastic science clear, without the unnecessary fear. By providing people with a tailored picture of their own exposure, we can show what a meaningful reduction actually looks like."

An independent project, built in Traverse City, Michigan — a forefront for Great Lakes environmental action.
