Plastic pollution with numbers

It is produced 300 million tons of plastic annually in the world A rapidly growing plastic production, which cannot be stopped since 1907, where the first plastic product is launched, has reached two of the total mass of mankind worldwide. We started to produce about 300 million tons of plastic every year due to our use of unconscious plastic. 60 percent of these products accumulate in natural environment and garbage. [

The US produces 130 kg plastic per person every year
The world’s largest plastic pollutant is the production of the US, almost two times and more than the total of all countries in the European Union. 42 million metric tons of plastic waste in the US year and 1,13-2.24 million metric tonnes are uncensored to the oceans and the environment.

The amount of plastic that mixes to those is 8 million tons each year[
Around 40 percent of the ocean surface covered with plastic waste. Science warns people that our plastic consumption and behaviors will be very plastic in the oceans in 2030.

Every year 100 thousand animals die by plasti
]] In addition to the debris consisting of plastic bottles, containers and even face masks, ghost fishing equipment (belbolan, abandoned or left by fishermen) enters the ocean.

We swallow 5 grams of plastic every week]
Plastic wastes and microplastics that are ingested without knowing animals also affect people standing on the top of the food chain. According to the 2019 Reuters info chart, people consume about five grams of plastic every week.

[Plastics will release more greenhouse gas from coal to 2030 in the US]
] Plastic pollution refers to more than waste thrown into the environment and left to decay. Plastic production significantly triggers air pollution and global warming. Plastic production in the US currently produces 232 million metric tons of greenhouse gas annually. This is also equivalent to 116.5 gigawatt coal thermal power plant. According to research; this production will leave behind coal thermal power plants in the country by 2030.

Face masks, gloves and disinfectant bottles that were worn during the pandemi period resulted in the formation of 8.4 million tons of plastic waste in 193 countries, and 25 thousand 900 tons were leaked into the ocean. This figure is among the added information, which is equivalent to more than 2000 double deck buses.
