One of the most popular solutions to plastic pollution, which is recycling, simply isn’t enough. Only 9% of all the plastic waste ever generated has been recycled.
Current forecasts show that the expected strong increase in plastic production over the next years will overtake recycling by far, the consequence being more plastic in the ocean.
Recycling alone is not enough to solve the plastics emergency. To stop plastic from entering our oceans, we need to reduce the amount of plastic being produced. We must demand that companies reduce the amount of plastic they are putting into the supply chain and find other ways to package and deliver their products. Without immediate changes to the way we use and abuse plastics, the total amount of plastic waste created is expected to double by 2025.
