Windows 11The Earth has more than 8 billion tons of plastic, weighing about 1 billion elephants
From 1950 to 2015, in just over six decades, the world produced more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic, a total weight of 25,000 Empire State buildings, 381m high in the US or 1 billion elephants.
- Pests can eat plastic, savior of man-made plastic waste
- While many countries are "flooded with garbage", the country is importing waste to use
- How long does it take waste to decompose?
But only 30% of the plastic is still in use, the rest is turned into waste and only 9% of plastic waste is recycled.
The rate of human plastic production is increasing over time, 50% of that plastic is produced in just 13 years.
According to studies, the average life of a plastic product is only 11 minutes before they turn into waste.
Scientists predict that if this trend continues the Earth will have to contain 12 billion tons of plastic waste by 1020.
