If there is one type of waste problem, which is ubiquitous, it is Plastic Pollution. A few important facts about plastic pollution as per United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)
Since the early 1950s, more than 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced. Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled and about 12% has been incinerated.
About 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the world’s oceans every year. Rivers carry plastic waste from deep inland to the sea. This contributes to marine pollution.
Globally about 300 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. Half of all plastic produced worldwide is used only once and then trashed away.
Developed countries like the United States, Japan and many European countries produce significant amounts of plastic waste. Per capita annual consumption in the USA is about 100 kg, in Europe, it is around 65 kg and in China is around 40 kg. This is much higher than the global average of 28 kg of plastic use per person annually.
Environmental Impacts
Plastic bags can block waterways and exacerbate natural disasters like flooding.
Plastic bags are often mistaken for food by turtles and dolphins. Dolphins, turtles, whales, and fishes can ingest them and high concentrations of plastic materials, have been found blocking the airways and stomachs of hundreds of species.
Disposing of plastic waste by burning it, in open-air pits releases harmful gases like furan and dioxin.
