Over 400 million tonnes of plastic was projected to be wasted in 2024 according to an OECD report from 2020. Further, plastic waste is expected to nearly triple worldwide by 2060, with half of all waste expected to be in landfill while less than one-fifth of it will be recycled.
Unbelievably, if all this plastic waste were put in a kitchen bin and scaled up uniformly, this would double the height of the Burj Khalifa.
