Plastic Pollution
Researchers estimate that more than 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced since the 1950s. About 60% of the total has ended up in landfills or, even worse, in the environment. More than 99% of plastic was made from chemicals derived from oil, natural gas and coal – all non-renewable resources. At this rate, by 2050, the plastics industry could account for 20% of the world’s oil consumption, much of which will then be dumped into the environment.
