According to a recent study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, Malaysians consume an average of
502.3 mg of microplastics per day, with a total air intake of
494,000 particles.


【Where do #microplastics come from
】

Microplastics originate from the degradation of plastic waste, ordinary goods, and electronic waste (e-waste). They are like "glitter" in the plastic world—tiny and #pervasive, posing potential dangers to species and the environment.
【How do we accidentally #consume microplastics
】

Malaysians primarily consume microplastics through fish and seafood that are contaminated by water pollution. These microplastics are #indigestible to both fish and humans, leading to digestive obstructions, #inflammation, and hormone disruptions.





Most importantly:

To protect our environment
and health, we must ensure all plastics are properly handled, including e-waste. Remember to collect your e-waste and bring it to the nearest TBM outlet for recycling today
