Who Can Reduce The Plastic Crisis?
The top 20 producers in 2019 of single-use plastic items make 50 % of all items globally. The top 100 producers account for 90 % of the products produced. Single-use Plastic (SUP) is 98 % manufactured from fossil fuels and accounts for 1/3 of the plastic made. This use of virgin plastic means more pollution in the environment, less recycling, and more waste. A small group of people can change the world better if they move away from single-use plastics to produce their products.
