Projected Plastic Waste Generation in 2024
By the year 2024, it's anticipated that around 220 million tons of plastic waste will be produced globally, which translates to an average of 28 kg per individual. Alarmingly, approximately one-third of this waste, equating to about 69.5 million tons, is expected to be poorly managed, ultimately infiltrating the natural environments.
