Around 25.8 million tonnes of plastic waste are generated in EU every year, less than 30% is collected for recycling. 5 to 13 million tonnes of plastics ends up in the ocean every year. In Europe 150 000 to 500 000 tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans every year.
THE EQUIVALENT OF 33,800 PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE DUMPED INTO THE SEA EVERY MINUTE
Plastic production across all Mediterranean countries emits approximately 194million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. 79% OF PLASTIC WASTE ENDS in landfills, dumps or in the environment, 12 % are incinerated, 9 % are recycled
Plastic waste is damaging the Mediterranean ecosystem The Mediterranean’s prosperous Blue Economy represents 6% of the region’s GDP but loses an estimated €641 million to marine plastic pollution each year.
Cost of inaction: If we don’t improve our consumption patterns and waste management practices, by 2050 there will be around 12 million tonnes of plastic litter environment.
loses up to €268 million each year from plastic pollution.
Contaminates soil and water Choke waterways and exacerbate natural disasters. By 2050, an estimated 99% of seabirds will have ingested plastic
Loses an estimated €235 million a year from marine plastic debris.
Cause economic loss in tourism fishing industries and shipping industries. High cost of transport to centralized plant of lightweight foamed plastics due to difficulty in recycling at local plants in recycling at local plants. Future costs of removal of accumulated plastic littering the environment.
Loses close to €138 million per year from plastic pollution
Block sewage systems and provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes, raising the risk of malaria transmission. Release toxic chemicals and emissions if burned Welfare losses (visual pollution) Food Chain Contamination.
Today’s plastic waste management releases in air, water or soil toxic substances as an direct or indirect impact on humans and environment. Once the plastic reaches the environment in a form of macro, micro or nano plastic it contaminates the food chains, having a direct impact on our health system. We indigest or inhale per week 3 - 5 grams of plastic every week through the food chains, it’s an equivalent of a plastic credit card.
