The Problem in Numbers…
8 million
pieces of plastic enter our oceans each day
1 million
plastic bottles are bought every minute,
with less than 50% recycled
Over 20 billion
pairs ending up in landfill every year with a shoe emoji instead of the bottle.
100,000
marine mammals & turtles are killed by
plastic each year
50%
of plastic produced is single use
500-1000
years, the average time for plastic to degrade
