Pacific garbage patch  

Définition(s)

  • Pacific Garbage Patch is the name given to one of several large collections of plastic oceanic debris, the first of which was discovered floating within the north Pacific. Its complexity presents unique problems to the regulatory governance of environmental pollution and introduces nonhuman agencies into the conceptualization of waste flows.
