In recent years, research on plastic pollution in the Arctic region has progressed rapidly in response to growing public interest in the problem of plastic pollution in the marine environment. As a result, it has been found that plastic pollution is widespread and ubiquitous in the Arctic despite its remoteness. Information is accumulating on the potential sources and processes of plastic pollution and potential impacts on Arctic wildlife. In this paper, the latest scientific findings are reviewed and future prospects for plastic pollution in the Arctic are discussed.
