Inadequately managed plastic waste 

Pros & Cons

3 Pros:
•    The causation for plastics in oceans is seemingly well portrayed
•    Shows not absolute amount of plastic waste, but only the inadequately managed share
•    Provides a clear geographic pattern


3 Cons:
•    Essential info missing: % of how much waste?
•    Does not provide plastics going to oceans
•    Country-wise graphics may lead to false and too quick accusations against single countries
