It is very likely that your plastic footprint is way beyond what your local and global waste management can handle – not mentioning the environmental footprint that it has.

Even if you shop very plastic conscious, never get take away, or order online, there’s a mind boggling plastic footprint for almost anything you spend your money on.

With World vs Plastic we’ll help you become more plastic aware of everyday things and start your journey to a plas-low lifestyle.

No.

But let me thank you for recycling. It actually enables the recycling process itself. It saves resources and is significant to an efficient waste management system. So please keep doing it – and if you dont, please start. Its an increasingly important habit to have, as we are working on making waste management more efficient.

Unfortunately waste management is not efficient yet. No matter what country you look it. 

Of the 9 bn tons of virgin plastic produced worldwide, only 9% has been recycled. That means that a staggering 8.2 billion tons of plastic end up in landfills, incineration and the environment right away.

And even the 9% arent really recycled. Countries label their waste as recycled when it is ”shipped for recycled” to another country (usually in Asis). These places routinley dump massive amounts of that plastic into the ocean or burn it in open fires. 

So unforuntaley it’s really a complete myth when people say that we’re recycling our plastics.

Well they take it away from your doorstep. But there is no away after that. As mentioned in the Q&A above, waste management systems are incredibly inefficient these days. Recycling remains a myth. Of the 9 billion tons of new plastic produced every year, more than 8 billion tons are not recycled. They end up in landfills, incineration and our oceans instead. The reason why we are facing this plastic waste epidemic is that we have all relied on our governments to take care of our waste before.

But. We are working on this. By empowering many, many global and community driven waste management solutions we are slowly but surely cleaning up the mess, raising awareness for a more conscious lifestyle and increasing pressure on global governemnts for change.

Yes. Big change happens bottom up.
