Clean Up and Waste Audit in Moscow, Russia - B-roll

Greenpeace Russia activists cleaned up the coastline of Kotovsky bay at the source of the Klyazma River in Moscow. They collected plastic trash on a 100-meter stretch of coast : plastic bottles, single-use plastic containers, cups and other garbage. The Greenpeace team made a description of the types of plastic waste collected on the coast.
Greenpeace Russia organized a series of "plasticwatching" actions in different cities. Participants of these actions collected, counted and sorted 229,123 garbage fragments into categories. It turned out that 68.1% of them are plastic, and 31.9% — other types of waste.
96.2% of 156,125 plastic fragments are parts of disposable items and packaging.
