Here are some facts that demonstrate the importance of significantly reducing – or transforming – the garbage accumulated by humans across the surface of the planet.
This includes toxic and hazardous waste that is harmful not only to the environment but also to human health. The international financial institution specifies that the East Asia and the Pacific region is the source of most of the world's waste , while the Middle East and North Africa region produces the least .Again according to the World Bank, the average person in the world produces 0.74kg of waste per day, although there are significant differences depending on the standard of living.
Recycling is far from being a reflex for the majority of us. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development , not only has the amount of plastic waste doubled worldwide in two decades, but only 9% is recycled. The rest is mostly sent to a landfill, incinerated, or released into the environment, contributing even more to the pollution of soils and oceans.
