Plastic to Ocean Impact Converter ಎಂದರೇನು?

The Plastic to Ocean Impact Converter translates your weekly single-use plastic consumption (water bottles, grocery bags, takeout containers, straws/utensils) into estimated annual ocean-bound plastic weight, CO₂ footprint from production, and qualitative impact tier. Roughly 11 million tons of plastic enter oceans each year — your share is calculated using per-item weight × ocean-bound rate (~2% globally, higher for low-recycling regions).
