Mountaineers mostly come across plastic food packaging, first aid & other equipment, & have seen an increase in waste over the past 5 yrs incl recently deposited COVID-related litter such as masks & hand sanitizer bottles.https://twitter.com/IPBES/status/1470747596922699779 …

Hard and soft plastics are the most common types of waste encountered at altitude by mountaineers, the first survey of its kind has found — with 2/3 of mountaineers spotting litter most or every time they set foot on a mountain.
