Today is World Environment Day!
Here are some interesting facts on plastic pollution:
- Only 9% of all plastic produced is recycled.
- A whopping 2 million plastic bags are used every minute worldwide.
- Every minute of every day a truckload of plastic is dumped into the ocean.
- 73% of beach litter worldwide is plastic.
Everyone plays a part in beating plastic pollution, from you as a consumer, to our organisations and government bodies.
