The Plastic Reality:
500 Pounds of Waste Generated by Every Person, Every Year
Imagine a 13-foot-high, 7-foot-wide tower of plastic waste — created by every person every year. Only 9% of it gets recycled.
The Global Plastic Crisis
The Impact of Plastic You Dont See
It takes 100 gallons of oil and 1400 gallons of water to create 500lbs of plastic.
Plastic isn't just waste — it's a drain on resources and the planet's health:
Water Use: Plastic production consumes massive amounts of water, contributing to resource scarcity.
Fossil Fuels: 98% of single-use plastics are derived from fossil fuels, driving climate change.
