<P> In 2005, federal organizations developed the Federal Marine Protected Areas Strategy . This strategy is a collaborative approach implemented by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Parks Canada, and Environment Canada to plan and manage federal marine protected areas . The federal marine protected areas work with Aboriginal groups, industries, academia, environmental groups, and NGOs to strengthen marine protected areas . The federal marine protected areas network consists of three core programs: Marine Protected Areas, Marine Wildlife Areas, and National Marine Conservation Areas . The MPA is a program to be noted because it is significant in protecting ecosystems from the effects of industrial activities . The MPA guiding principles are Integrated Management, ecosystem - based management approach, Adaptive Management Approach, Precautionary Principle, and Flexible Management Approach . All five guiding principles are used collectively and simultaneously to collaborate and respect legislative mandates of individual departments, to use scientific knowledge and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to manage human activities, to monitor and report on programs to meet conservation objectives of MPAs, to use best available information in the absence of scientific certainty, and to maintain a balance between conservation needs and sustainable development objectives . </P> <P> The two common forms of waste collection include curbside collection and the use of drop - off recycling centers . About 87 percent of the population in the United States (273 million people) have access to curbside and drop - off recycling centers . In curbside collection, which is available to about 63 percent of the United States population (193 million people), people place designated plastics in a special bin to be picked up by a public or private hauling company . Most curbside programs collect more than one type of plastic resin; usually both PETE and HDPE . At drop - off recycling centers, which are available to 68 percent of the United States population (213 million people), people take their recyclables to a centrally located facility . Once collected, the plastics are delivered to a materials recovery facility (MRF) or handler for sorting into single - resin streams to increase product value . The sorted plastics are then baled to reduce shipping costs to reclaimers . </P> <P> There are varying rates of recycling per type of plastic, and in 2011, the overall plastic recycling rate was approximately 8% in the United States . Approximately 2.7 million tons of plastics were recycled in the U.S. in 2011 . Some plastics are recycled more than others; in 2011 "29 percent of HDPE bottles and 29 percent of PET bottles and jars were recycled ." </P> <P> The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, has requested various governmental departments to avoid the use of plastic bottles to provide drinking water during governmental meetings, etc., and to instead make arrangements for providing drinking water that do not generate plastic waste . The state of Sikkim has restricted the usage of plastic water bottles (in government functions and meetings) and styrofoam products . The state of Bihar has banned the usage of plastic water bottles in governmental meetings . </P>

Where does most of the plastic come from
