The amount of plastic in the world's oceans hasn't increased since the mid-1980s, despite greater production and consumption of materials made from plastic. The elimination of off-shore garbage dumping in international waters seems to be the largest factor.

It isn't really relevant that the rate isn't increasing given that the damn stuff doesn't biodegrade. Is this an argument in favour of using plastics where they are unnecessary? I can't see it myself.
