- According to NOAA microplastics are plastic debris which measure less than five millimeters in length.

- 33% of the fish caught in England have consumed Microplastics Glitter (Richard Thompson, Professor of Marine Biology at Plymouth University).

- The British government is banning “rinse off” microbeads — plastics of less than one millimeter in length.
