The global population can use around one trillion plastic bags per year, and even more than 150 million tons of plastic waste have already found their way into oceans and rivers. This fact gets worse since only 5% of those single-use bags and straws get recycled.

According to recent studies, most plastic waste frequently comes from improper disposition practices in big manufacturing companies. As we have already outlined, manufacturing processes also take a surprising amount of water, electricity, and raw materials.

While not all those businesses have received a sanction for their pollutant practices, environmental associations are doing their best in pushing companies and individuals to go plastic-free. On the other hand, plastic usage had risen significantly during the coronavirus pandemic.

Why? Two years of face masks, food takeaway packaging, giant plastic bags, and vaccines only mean more plastic pollution. Reusing and recycling your plastic bags is a great initiative but cutting down your consumption of single-use products can be even better.

Due to the high pollution rates, multiple businesses across the globe are doing single-use plastic items. This sustainable initiative is an excellent way to minimize plastic waste rates, cut costs and reduce the carbon footprint.
