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

years, the average time for plastic to degrade
