英文摘要	The global plastic economy demands to reduce the flow of plastic into oceans and promote remedial actions for already accumulated seafloor litter. In this perspective, baseline levels of contamination and tools for dating litter items in order to assess the efficacy of those actions, are thus needed. In this note we discuss the utility of introducing the acquisition of shelf-life and labels features from litter items into already established standardized protocols such as the one proposed by MEDiterranean International Trawl Survey (MEDITS). Our investigation was conducted on 612 high resolution images of litter items collected in each haul, which was retrieved during 6 years of surveys (2013–2018) around Sardinian sea (central western Mediterranean). While for the majority of items (89%) expiration date or labels were not present or legible, over 50% of dated items were likely dumped at sea from a period <5 years. In this perspective, this sort of data could represent a useful tool for monitoring the effectiveness of input reduction actions that implicitly rely on the gradual reduction of recently dumped items. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
