The Plastic Problem
- 50% of all plastics produced are single-use and get thrown out after less than 1min
- Less than 9% of all produced plastics get recycled
- It takes app 450 years for plastics to decompose
- Over 10 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans annually
- 1 Million marine animals are killed by plastic pollution every year
- Plastic waste is projected to increase by 20% over the next 30 years
We have grown to be dependent on plastics in every aspect of our lives. In the timeline of our human and industrial evolution, plastics have only been around for about 100 years. However, the damage it has caused so far, like driving some species extinct, will take hundreds of years for the planet to recover and that is considering we stop all production and consumption of non-biodegradable/eco-friendly plastics right now.
Plastic alternatives do exist, and researchers and scientists are rapidly developing new solutions which are capable to have the same, or in some cases even better, material properties than the chemical plastics currently produced. But this is only one part of the solution, first and foremost we need to change our consumption behavior and habits, we need to design and create more sustainable products and packaging, everything we produce and consume needs to be degradable so it can re-enter the natural cycle.
Call to action:
1. Reduce or stop consumption of non-eco-friendly plastics
2. Clean up and recycle pollution
3. Use alternative eco-friendly products and materials
4. Design and create eco-friendly
