Plastic pollution on path to more than double in the next 15 years
Plastic-related emissions will also grow by 58% as production continues to ramp up.
Plastic pollution will more than double over the next 15 years from 130 million to 280 million metric tonnes if no action is taken, according to a new Pew report.
The findings – supported by ICF International, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Imperial College London, Systemiq and the University of Oxford – show that plastic pollution is “much worse than previously thought”, and that action by governments and companies is still largely ineffective.
