Retail history is marked by this deal as it stands as one of the largest ocean plastics retail agreements ever made. From 2023 to 2025, aligned ESG sourcing saw a 37% increase in the textile industry. Companies are embedding metrics linked to sustainability into procurement frameworks. This trend secures long-term demand for inputs that are certified as recycled deep-sea waste plastics designed for offshore certified closed-loop reprocessing systems. Request a Customized Copy of the Recycled Ocean Plastics Market Report @ Global Policy Shifts Are Increasing The Sourcing Contracts For Recycled Plastics: International and ocean plastic policies are. In December 2024, the U.S. government banned single-use plastics in all federal operations. At the same time, Canada and the EU put new bans on non-recyclable and virgin plastic packaging due to Canada's and the EU's legislation in replacing non-recyclable packaging, demand as well as compliance arose. companies resolved their demands by switching to recyclable content, which maintained legal limits. Thus, it triggered explosive growth in Recycled Plastics Sourcing Contracts which is changing the legislative approach to design solutions, such as seeing overall procurement approaches change after that event. Compliance-driven replacements have become the strongest drivers of growth in recycled plastics use. Growth Of Circular Economy Initiatives Across The Globe: The reallocation of resources and focus on recovering ocean plastic is supported by global circular economy initiatives. Recently, major development banks like the European Investment Bank announced plans to fund marine plastic removal infrastructure with USD 3.5 billion. These funds contribute towards regional recycling plants, job creation, and novel sorting technologies. The initiative aims to improve material traceability to support international sustainability targets. This initiative, supported by the UN and World Bank, stretches across Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America which bolsters regional supply chains. Enhanced resource productivity is now a focal point in environmental finance investment strategy.

It aligns with growing consumer and corporate demand for sustainable materials. Companies benefit from positive brand image and regulatory incentives tied to eco-friendly sourcing. Technological advancements in sorting and processing have improved the material's quality and scalability. Brands like Adidas, Patagonia, and Dell have successfully incorporated it into premium products. These factors position recycled ocean plastic as a high-impact, value-driven material in global markets. Weaknesses: Despite its benefits, recycled ocean plastic often suffers from contamination, degradation, and high collection costs. Material inconsistency makes it less suitable for some industrial applications. Complex logistics and manual sorting limit scalability, especially in regions with poor waste infrastructure. Certification processes and traceability systems are expensive and time-consuming. There's also a limited supply of ocean plastic relative to global demand for recycled materials. These weaknesses can hinder adoption unless addressed by technological and policy support. Opportunities: Rising global awareness of ocean pollution is creating vast opportunities for recycled marine plastic across sectors like packaging, textiles, automotive, and furniture. Government regulations on single-use plastics and mandates for recycled content open new markets. Technological innovations like AI sorting, chemical recycling, and blockchain traceability can improve efficiency and transparency. Partnerships with coastal communities and NGOs can expand collection capacity. Corporate ESG goals are fueling demand for verified sustainable materials. These trends collectively support long-term market growth. Threats: The recycled ocean plastic market faces threats from greenwashing, lack of global recycling standards, and competition from other sustainable materials like bioplastics. Market dependency on voluntary clean-up initiatives can make supply unpredictable. Rising raw material costs and economic instability may discourage investment in recycling infrastructure.

This is a cursory overview of each region: North America: Including the United States, Canada, Mexico and nearby countries, North America is a mature market for recycled ocean plastics driven by political intervention and sustainability frameworks from corporations. Both U.S. and Canadian industries are at the forefront of adopting packaging and consumer goods integration with ocean plastics while Mexico improves its infrastructure for collection systems in a timely manner. The United States EPA has legally mandated 30% recycled content in Federal procurement of plastic products which will go into effect in July of 2024. Canada sponsored EPR frameworks in 2023 mandating brands to cover costs for recycling ocean plastics which drove them to co-sponsor legislation concerning EPR systems for recycling plastic waste as well. Pilot projects for coastal clean-up zones aim to prevent plastic pollution into waterways around Mexico by 2025. These initiatives focus more on policy rather than strategy to gain scale within markets or sustain regional supply chains. Furthermore, these regions intend to enhance investment in digital traceability alongside recovery networks that span across borders. Europe: Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Russia make up Europe which has been leading in the global market for ocean plastics due to their robust policies focusing on circular economies. European wide policies like PPWR and the Green Deal set limitations on providing minimum recycled content as well as funding recovery of ocean plastics. The Netherlands was set to spend USD 0.2B in chemical recycling facilities for ocean plastics by march 2025. Moreover, Germany's 2023 mandate resulted in 20% ocean plastic incorporation into industrial goods. While France had incorporated recycled plastics to public infrastructure by mid-2022, the UK expanded caps-on-bottle collection through EPR in 2024. Western Europe leads these trends for supply chain accountability and eco-certifications. It is thus conclusive that Europe stands out as a hub of innovation and policy on the entire value chain of recycled ocean plastic. Asia Pacific: This region with China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Taiwan is one of the leading culprits and is also emerging as a leader in recovering ocean plastics. Countries such as Japan and South Korea are concentrating on advanced sorting and chemical recycling while India and Southeast Asia focus more on expanding collection networks. In June 2025, China initiated a project to establish coastal plastic recycling hubs with an investment of USD 0.013 billion. India incorporated ocean plastics into the framework of Swachh Bharat waste management clusters in 2023. In 2024, Japan demonstrated reuse diversification by using marine plastics in school uniforms. Through its ReMade in Australia campaign of 2024 Australia has comprehensive national goals. A mix of innovation and regulation along with scale public-private collaboration defines the region's approaches to tackling issues. LAMEA: Inclusive of Brazil, countries from the Middle East and African economies make up LAMEA. This region demonstrates a growing commitment to ocean plastic recovery, although infrastructural challenges remain. Brazil is a leader in the region with its community-based coastal collections and federal program supporting 50 new recovery hubs by 2025. In 2023, the UAE initiated the first PET chemical recycling plant for ocean bound plastic waste in the Middle East. Efforts are being made across Africa as well, including South Africa's 2022 pledge of a national target of 35% plastic recycling by 2025. Recovery approaches largely utilize public-private partnerships or are led by non-governmental organizations. Regardless of inequitable policy implementation frameworks, this area through grassroots innovations is advancing towards meeting objectives. Investment from global sustainability funds is also increasing across LAMEA. These strategies are steadily enhancing the capacity of the region in the global ocean plastic market.

Shark Trust Announces 2025 Photography Winners
The winning image, shot by Julian Hebenstreit in Australia, features the golden body of a Zebra ... More Shark set against dark rock and pale sand. At first glance it's a simple photograph, but its composition and contrast evoke the delicate state of shark survival today. Today on July 14, Shark Awareness Day, the Shark Trust announced the winners of its 2025 Shark Photographer of the Year competition. With over 1,200 known species of sharks and rays in the ocean, the competition invited photographers from around the world to capture these animals in their natural environments. And they delivered. Entries came in from 34 countries, showcasing 76 different species including rarely seen chimeras, the Critically Endangered great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran), and the graceful zebra shark (Stegostoma tigrinum; also known in the Indo-Pacific as the leopard shark). 'The highlight of the photography competition for me is the wonderful diversity of sharks and rays represented and the quality of images across the board," said Paul Cox, Shark Trust CEO. 'We're grateful to each and every one of the photographers for taking part and sharing their love of sharks with the world.' The winning image, shot by Julian Hebenstreit in Australia, features the golden body of a zebra shark set against dark rock and pale sand. 'When I think back to the moment of this capture, I remember the stark contrast between the wild and uncomfortable outside and the calm and quiet world below the water,' he explained. 'I selected this image because it reminds me why I do what I do. Why I dive, why I explore, and try to protect. It's not just about documenting wildlife; it's about conveying the fragile beauty of the ocean in a way that makes people care.' At first glance it's a simple photograph, but its composition and contrast evoke the delicate state of shark survival today. Small in the frame and surrounded by vast, shadowy rock, the picture is a stand-in symbol on how these ancient animals now face mounting threats in an increasingly uncertain environment. Hector Clarke earned the UK title with his image of a Small-Spotted Catshark resting on a bed of ... More brittle stars in Scotland's Loch Carron. This year's panel of judges, including Shark Trust patron Simon Rogerson, praised the photo's subtle storytelling, calling it a 'treasure in dark times.' But Hebenstreit wasn't the only one honored. The competition also recognized a British and Overseas Winner. Hector Clarke earned the UK title with his image of a small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) resting on a bed of brittle stars in Scotland's Loch Carron. His shot underscores the importance of seabed habitats, which support a surprising amount of biodiversity; from the intricately patterned shark to the vivid starfish beneath it, the image is a reminder that many animals rely on the seafloor to survive. Meanwhile, the Overseas Winner, Martin Broen, captured a black-and-white split-shot showing a school of rays swimming below a boat off the coast of Mexico during a mobula ray migration. His image, elegant and dramatic, shows the connection between what's above and below the surface — and who's watching whom. 'Below the surface, a dense school of rays forms a luminous, geometric ballet, their bodies catching shafts of sunlight filtering through the ocean,' Broen recounts. 'Above, a small boat with observers floats quietly, a silent witness to one of nature's most graceful spectacles.'

More below a boat off the coast of Mexico during a mobula ray migration The Shark Trust, a UK-based charity, has used photography and storytelling to educate the public, advocate for policy change, and encourage community action. Sharks have roamed our oceans for over 400 million years, yet today many species are at risk due to overfishing and habitat loss. Thus, the Shark Photographer of the Year competition is part of a larger movement to raise awareness about those threats and inspire solutions. To reflect some of their current projects, the Shark Trust awarded additional honors to photographers whose images aligned with key conservation themes. Byron Conway's photo of silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) swimming near the surface in Cuba won the Oceanics Programme category. He used a slow shutter speed to add a sense of motion and color to the image, capturing the moment during sunset using a technique called Snell's Window. Silky sharks, like many oceanic species, are heavily impacted by overfishing, and Conway's work adds urgency to calls for protecting pelagic species. Gillian Marsh photographed a blue shark (Prionace glauca) interacting with an underwater ... More photographer off the coast of Cornwall, portraying a moment of curiosity between species. In the Living with Sharks category, Gillian Marsh photographed a blue shark (Prionace glauca) interacting with an underwater photographer off the coast of Cornwall, portraying a moment of curiosity between species. Another award was given under the Mediterranean Programme, which focuses on a region where over half of the shark and ray species face extinction. Linda Mazza's photo of a Critically Endangered angelshark was taken in the Canary Islands, one of ... More the few places where sightings are still possible. Linda Mazza's photo of a Critically Endangered angelshark wasn't taken in the Mediterranean but in the Canary Islands, one of the few places where sightings are still possible. The image, intimate and raw, serves as a stark reminder of how rare some sharks have become. In the citizen science-focused Great Eggcase Hunt category, Grant Evans took home the prize for a photo of a pyjama shark (Poroderma africanum) eggcase nestled among sea fans in South Africa. The picture illustrates how important the seafloor is for shark reproduction, and how practices like bottom trawling can destroy crucial nursery habitats. Grant Evans took home the prize for a photo of a pyjama shark (Poroderma africanum) eggcase nestled ... More among sea fans in South Africa. Finally, the Young Shark Photographer of the Year award went to Panitbhand Paribatra Na Ayudhya for an image of a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) feeding at the surface. The photograph, taken during a moment of awe, carries a message of hope for the photographer: 'For me, enjoying this moment is not all there is, we must take action to help ensure these incredible, gentle giants of the sea survive. I believe that together we can help Whale Sharks live and swim freely in their ocean home, allowing them to share this planet with us for years to come.' These gentle giants feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, yet they face enormous threats. Paribatra Na Ayudhya hopes his generation can be the one to ensure their survival. Young Shark Photographer of the Year award went to Panitbhand Paribatra Na Ayudhya for an image of a ... More whale shark (Rhincodon typus) feeding at the surface. All of the photographs entered into the competition — whether they won or not — will be used to support shark and ray conservation efforts for years to come. And this is what makes each image so important because beyond their beauty, they carry weight. They inform, inspire and push people to act. The finalist images are on display in Plymouth, Britain's Ocean City, until the end of the month. They are a celebration, yes, but also a call to action. Because while sharks have survived mass extinctions and shifting seas, they now need our help to survive us.

Senedd Member calls for restrictions on bottom trawling
Janet Finch-Saunders said she could hardly imagine a more wasteful way of catching fish than bottom trawling, which involves dragging heavy nets across the sea floor. The Conservatives' shadow climate secretary told the Senedd: 'It is a national disgrace that this Welsh Government is allowing such destructive and wasteful practices to take place.' Ms Finch-Saunders warned: 'These practices effectively bulldoze through and destroy seabed habitats. They release high levels of carbon and they catch untargeted marine life.' She stated bottom trawling is excluded in less than 1 per cent of seas, with restrictions around Skomer Island – only one of the 139 marine protected areas (MPAs) surrounding Wales. Ms Finch-Saunders described the 'destructive' method of fishing as 'incompatible' with MPAs, which are meant to be sanctuaries for marine life. She urged Welsh ministers to follow Westminster's lead, with the UK Government consulting on proposals to ban bottom trawling in 41 MPAs – an area spanning 30,000km2. Ms Finch-Saunders pointed to the example of a ban in Lyme Bay in south-west England leading to a 430 per cent increase in the richness of the species mix. Contributing to the debate on July 9, Joyce Watson raised long-held concerns about the impact of scallop dredging in the special area of conservation in Cardigan Bay. She said: 'Scallop dredging, like other forms of dredging, is an incredibly destructive fishing practice – the entire structure of the seabed is damaged as rakes are dragged along.' Her Labour colleague Carolyn Thomas said she was horrified to watch Sir David Attenborough's Ocean documentary film. But she added: 'It did say there was hope, that if bottom trawling ended – the ecosystems, the biodiversity could soon recover.' Huw Irranca-Davies, the deputy first minister who is responsible for environment policy, described the use of bottom trawling around Wales as relatively limited. He told the Senedd the main king scallop fishery in Wales is managed under a joint fisheries management plan with England to ensure long-term sustainability.

Senedd Member calls for restrictions on bottom trawling
Janet Finch-Saunders said she could hardly imagine a more wasteful way of catching fish than bottom trawling, which involves dragging heavy nets across the sea floor. The Conservatives' shadow climate secretary told the Senedd: 'It is a national disgrace that this Welsh Government is allowing such destructive and wasteful practices to take place.' Ms Finch-Saunders warned: 'These practices effectively bulldoze through and destroy seabed habitats. They release high levels of carbon and they catch untargeted marine life.'
