In More Detail
Just the facts
The amount of plastic produced from 2000 - 2010 exceeds the amount produced during the entire last century.
Virtually every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists in some shape or form (with the exception of the 12% that has been incinerated – equally bad for the environment).
More than 40 per cent of plastic is used just once, then tossed.
Nearly 2 million single-use plastic bags are distributed worldwide every minute. These bags can take thousands of years to degrade in landfills.
A plastic bag, for instance, is used on average for 15 minutes, yet could take 100 – 300 years to degrade.
1 million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute, and this number is set to increase by another 20% by 2021. Less than half of the bottles purchased in 2016 were recycled — with just 7% of those collected turned into new bottles, and the rest ending up in landfills or the ocean.
A plastic bottle can last for 450 years in the marine environment, slowly fragmenting into smaller and smaller pieces which eventually end up microscopic but never truly go away. This means that every piece of plastic that has ever been produced is still with us, in some form.
hope it helps : )
