Plastic Production

Do you know, since 1950, it is estimated that around 8.8 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide

This number might not seem significant, but in reality that is equivalent to the weight of over 800,000 Eiffel Towers. Can you imagine what 800,000 Eiffel Towers would even look like? Sadly, only about 9% of this plastic has been recycled. It is estimated that between 1.1 and 8.8 metric tons of plastic enter our oceans from coastal communities each year
