Every day, an alarming amount of plastic waste, equivalent to 2,000 garbage trucks, is dumped into our oceans, rivers, and lakes.
Annually, this amounts to 19-23 million tonnes of plastic waste polluting our aquatic ecosystems. With plastic leakage predicted to grow by 50% by 2040, it’s clear that recycling alone won’t solve this crisis.
That’s where Plastic Free July comes in. This global movement empowers millions of people to refuse single-use plastics, helping to turn off the plastics tap and protect our environment.
