Anne Rosenthal, counsel at US law firm Hurwit & Associates, representing Renew Oceans, also said it expects the project to fold. The Alliance and Renew Oceans declined comment on the amount of waste the project collected. Another Alliance project in the Philippines said on its website it had recycled 21 tonnes of plastic waste. There is no centralised source for data on plastic waste pollution across the globe. “There is no way to reduce plastic waste without reducing plastic production.”Chevron Phillips did not respond to a request for comment.
