A Call to Action
Plastic pollution is a global emergency, with over 430 million tonnes produced annually. Two-thirds of this plastic becomes waste within a year, threatening our oceans and ecosystems.
The Alarming Reality of Global Plastic Pollution
Every year, the world produces a staggering 430 million tonnes of plastic. Shockingly, two-thirds of this becomes waste within just 12 months.
The Waste Crisis
Less than 9% of plastic ever produced has been recycled effectively.
Ocean Impact
Over 14 million tonnes of plastic waste enter our oceans each year.
Ecosystems under seige.
Plastic waste chokes rivers, coasts and reefs, breaking down into microplastics while altering habitats that life depends on.
14 million tonnes/year of plastic enter the oceans, smothering shorelines and estuaries.
700+ marine species are harmed by ingestion or entanglement.
Contact with plastic can raise coral disease risk ~20×, accelerating reef decline.
The Human Cost
Plastic waste doesn’t stay “out there.” It fragments, travels, and shows up in the things we breathe, drink, and eat.
Microplastics detected in human blood, lungs, and placentas in multiple studies.
Everyday exposure via drinking water (tap and bottled) and foods such as seafood and salt.
Open burning and dumpsite fires pollute neighbourhood air, worsening asthma and respiratory illness.
