13132599. Transparent plastic glove drifting in the ocean
Transparent plastic glove drifting in the ocean. Single-use masks, gloves and bottles of sanitizer shielding us from the spread of COVID-19 are ending up on the streets, in the seas and among wildlife. The coronavirus crisis is producing more and more waste that is either contaminated or not economical to recycle, and would be even if the recycling infrastructure was still running at full capacity.

From Gloves to Oceanic Glove Drifters - The Unfortunate Tale of COVID-19 Waste
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the unexpected journey of a transparent plastic glove as it gracefully drifts in the vast expanse of the ocean. However, behind its mesmerizing beauty lies a pressing issue that demands our attention. As single-use masks, gloves, and bottles of sanitizer become essential shields against the spread of COVID-19, they are finding their way onto streets, seas, and even among wildlife. This global pandemic has inadvertently given birth to an alarming surge in waste - contaminated remnants that pose risks both to our environment and its inhabitants. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that while these protective measures are crucial for human safety, their improper disposal is causing havoc within nature's delicate balance. With recycling infrastructure struggling to cope with such overwhelming quantities of non-recyclable waste, we face an unprecedented challenge. Amidst this crisis-induced chaos emerges a call for action. Let us reflect on our choices and seek sustainable alternatives that do not compromise the health of our planet. As we navigate through these troubled waters together, may this image serve as a powerful symbol urging us all to be mindful custodians of our surroundings. So next time you don your personal protective equipment (PPE), remember the fate that awaits them if discarded irresponsibly – floating aimlessly like lost souls in an ever-growing sea of pollution.
