The scale of plastic pollution continues to grow. The world produces twice as much of this waste as twenty years ago, or 353 million tonnes in 2019, according to estimates by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). While this figure fell in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has since started to rise again. And at the current rate, it will triple by 2060.
