There is no floating island of garbage. The accumulation of plastic trash that has built up in the Pacific (located roughly between 135°W to155°W and 35°N and 42°N) is at or below the surface of the water and is composed mainly of plastic chips and bits from various plastic objects. It is estimated that the presence of plastic is between 5.1 kilograms of plastic per square kilometer of ocean area and 100 million tons,[ which would be several tons per kilometer. No area has been agreed on.
