13132599. Transparent plastic glove drifting in the ocean
Transparent plastic glove drifting in the ocean. Single-use masks, gloves and bottles of sanitizer shielding us from the spread of COVID-19 are ending up on the streets, in the seas and among wildlife. The coronavirus crisis is producing more and more waste that is either contaminated or not economical to recycle, and would be even if the recycling infrastructure was still running at full capacity.

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

From Gloves to Oceanic Glove Drifters - The Unfortunate Tale of COVID-19 Waste
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the unexpected journey of a transparent plastic glove as it gracefully drifts in the vast expanse of the ocean. However, behind its mesmerizing beauty lies a pressing issue that demands our attention. As single-use masks, gloves, and bottles of sanitizer become essential shields against the spread of COVID-19, they are finding their way onto streets, seas, and even among wildlife. This global pandemic has inadvertently given birth to an alarming surge in waste - contaminated remnants that pose risks both to our environment and its inhabitants. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that while these protective measures are crucial for human safety, their improper disposal is causing havoc within nature's delicate balance. With recycling infrastructure struggling to cope with such overwhelming quantities of non-recyclable waste, we face an unprecedented challenge. Amidst this crisis-induced chaos emerges a call for action. Let us reflect on our choices and seek sustainable alternatives that do not compromise the health of our planet. As we navigate through these troubled waters together, may this image serve as a powerful symbol urging us all to be mindful custodians of our surroundings. So next time you don your personal protective equipment (PPE), remember the fate that awaits them if discarded irresponsibly – floating aimlessly like lost souls in an ever-growing sea of pollution.
