Plastic production continues to grow at an increasing rate. It is estimated that about 3% of all plastic produced annually ends up in the ocean. Only 9% of that plastic waste is recycled and 12% is incinerated. The remaining 79% ends up in landfills or in the environment, where it will remain in one form or another forever, since plastic does not degrade. World plastic production increased from two million tons in 1950 to more than 500 million tons in 2024 (this number includes plastic textile fibers). About half of all the world's plastic has been produced since 2000.
If current trends continue, there will be about 12 billion tons of plastic in landfills and in the environment by 2050. More plastic is thrown away than we can ever clean up, even if we do our best. The only way to reduce and prevent plastic pollution is to produce and use much less plastic.
