Plastic Pollution Growing at Troubling Rate With Significant Environmental, Human Health Consequences
A major new report published by The Pew Charitable Trusts and its partners, including Prof. Richard Bailey, "Breaking the Plastic Wave 2025" finds that the scale and impact of plastic pollution is far worse than previously thought, with far-reaching consequences for the environment and human health and well-being. Without action, plastic pollution will more than double over the next 15 years, reaching the equivalent of nearly a garbage truck per second of plastic polluting the environment by 2040, driven by production levels that will rise twice as fast as waste management. But these harms can be dramatically reduced using existing solutions if ambitious, fundamental change is urgently enacted throughout the global plastic system.
