The amount of plastic produced globally has reached over 8 billion metric tons since the 1950s. If we consider a standard plastic bag weighing about 5 grams, it would take approximately 200 million bags to weigh one metric ton. Circling the Earth at the equator requires about 40,075 kilometers of distance. If we laid those plastic bags end to end, it’s estimated that the accumulated plastic could circle the Earth several times, potentially more than 1.5 times, depending on the specific type and distribution of plastic waste.
