More than 25 billion metric tons a year
Since plastic is a good material people buy and use every day I say bout a good 30.000 plastic cups are used every hour
Millions of paper cups are thrown out every day around the world. Because of the fragile material they are made of, they are only designed to be used once.
It is estimated that over 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away and end up in landfills around the world each year. This contributes to environmental pollution and can harm wildlife. It is important to reduce the use of plastic bags and opt for reusable alternatives.
We make two hundred million tons of plastic every year (200,000,000 tons).
In various factories around the world.
China is the largest producer of plastic in the world, accounting for around 30% of global plastic production.
Various numbers are thrown around for the end of the world. They are based on speculation, not fact.
Only a little. Very sad.
Every year the world now produces more than 380million tonnes of plastic.
Waste production statistics differ by which source is used.According to the Clean Air Council for United States citizens:2.5 million plastic bottles are trashed every hour in the United Statesthe number of glass bottles trashed every two weeks would have filled both World Trade Center towers
According to "The Times" (see related link ) almost no animals are killed by plastic bags, and most plastic related deaths in marine birds and animals are more closely linked with other plastics which are dumped into the water system by industry.
Every Where! ALL around the world!
