Floating marine debris and litter act as a vector transporting various species across long distances. The present study reports possible transoceanic rafting of a small colony of barnacles on an unopened plastic bottle of Chinese origin found washed ashore on the Ninety Mile Beach in Victoria, Australia. The crustaceans attached were identified to be the goose barnacle Lepas pectinata. Based on the number and size of the colony the marine pollutant was estimated to adrift for several months. We hypothesised the origin of the flotsam, especially the barnacles and how it made its way from the Pacific to be washed ashore in Australia. Furthermore, we identified two types of microbes, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, associated with the Lepas pectinata growing on the bottle. This study appears to be the first report of possible transoceanic rafting on unused plastic pollutants and highlights the potential environmental threats caused by plastic.

The type of plastic packaging that is popular in the community is bottle packaging. The plastic material that is generally used to make plastic bottles is High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The plastic bottle industry in Indonesia usually uses a blow molding process in its production process, where the blow molding process consists of injection blow molding, extrusion blow molding and stretch blow molding. The SMC B11 machine is one of the extrusion blow molding machines used to produce plastic bottle packaging. In producing workpieces, this machine still produces several products that are not in accordance with company standards, including in terms of production cycle times and product defects. Defects or defects that are often encountered include the appearance of spots, bent parison which causes the bottle to bend (the bottle body is thin one side) and blow pin which causes the thread to not fit.Keywords— Bottle, Plastic, Defect, Extrussion Blow Molding
