12.7 million tonnes of waste is dumped into the oceans each year. Despite this issue, there has been little effort from the government to clean up the issue. Greenpeace wanted to draw attention to the problem. This inspired ‘Polluted Soap’ – artisanal soaps designed to urge politicians to stop washing their hands of the problem. Working with Taiwanese artist Hung Yi-chen, Greenpeace made soap infused with pollution collected from 10 beaches, ranging from microplastic, plastic bags, plastic utensils, food packaging, plastic lids, Styrofoam, medical waste and more.
