It's estimated that around 1.6 billion pens are thrown away each year in the United States alone. Globally, this number is significantly higher, potentially reaching several billion as pens are widely used and discarded. The environmental impact of this waste is concerning, as many pens are not recyclable and contribute to plastic pollution. Efforts to promote reusable options are increasingly important in addressing this issue.
Dr. Leo Baekeland made the first thermosetting plastic. He made this in the year of 1909 and it was originally called Bakelite.

On average, an American uses about 167 plastic water bottles per year. This number reflects the increased consumption of bottled water and convenience products. However, many of these bottles end up in landfills, contributing to environmental concerns related to plastic waste. Efforts to reduce plastic use and increase recycling are ongoing to mitigate these impacts.
Americans throw away enough plastic bottles to circle the Earth four times every year.
1.5 million*12 months = 18 million bottles thrown away each year.
