Every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world’s oceans, rivers, and lakes.
Plastic Pollution is a global problem.

Every year, 19 – 23 million tonnes of plastic waste leak into aquatic ecosystems, polluting lakes, rivers and seas.

Plastic pollution can alter habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems’ ability to adapt to climate change, and directly affecting millions of people’s livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being.

This week’s package is commemorating the 2025 World Environment Day, beating plastic pollution.
