Plastic pollution has become a prominent and pressing environmental concern within the realm of pollution. In recent times, microplastics have entered our ecosystem, especially in freshwater. In the contemporary global landscape, there exists a mounting apprehension surrounding the manifold environmental and public health issues that have emerged as a result As global plastics production has increased, the United States has played a major role in the industry. Many of the world’s largest plastic manufacturers are based in the country, such as Dow

It also provides European plastics industry’s key economic figures, trade balance, top trade partners, and preliminary estimations of European plastics “Plastics are choking our oceans, polluting the environment and harming people’s health and livelihoods. If business as usual continues, plastic production will triple by 2060. We need coordinated global policies to change plastic production and consumption patterns in a way that delivers for people and the planet.

Global Plastics Treaty: production, pollution and politics

Plastics Europe publishes the 2024 edition of the “Circular Economy for Plastics – A European Analysis” report. The newly plastic waste is released report is a contribution towards a better understanding of the circular economy for plastics, and its evolution

Global primary plastic production by polymer Polymers are color-coded to indicate recyclability: green for widely recycled, blue for moderately recycled, orange for limited recyclability, red for usually non-recycled, and violet for unknown recyclability. Comprehensive global policies addressing the entire plastics employs country level lifecycle can reduce plastic leakage into the environment by 96% by 2040, according to a new OECD report. By implementing a mix of policies – from enhancing plastic waste management and recycling, to curbing plastic use and waste – countries can achieve significant environmental benefits and economic savings

Reflect on the impact of plastic pollution in 2024. Discover the alarming statistics, economic and health costs, global efforts, and how sustainable solutions like EQUO’s eco-friendly products can make a difference. The US Plastics Industry Association presented at EBC2024 that will triple US bio-based polymer production in 2022, including mass balance-derived polymers, accounted for 0.6% of the country’s total polymer production. The USA will be the world’s second-largest producer of bio-based polymers, accounting for 19% of global production in that year.

Plastics Europe has published its latest study, Plastics—The Fast Facts 2024, which presents preliminary global and European plastics production data. Global Trends 2024 The U.S. plastics industry is a major player in world trade. This edition of the Plastic Industry annual production of plastic Association’s annual Global Trends study analyzes U.S. trade data both industry-wide and for specific segments in 2023. Where is plastic produced? In 2023, the largest producer of plastic worldwide represented 33 percent of global plastic production.

Plastic Overshoot Day 2024 report fills knowledge gap, enhances research prioritization and action against plastic pollution.

While plastic pollution is a multi-dimensional crisis, this report specifically examines how much plastic waste is being generated and whether existing waste management systems can properly handle it. Every year, there is a point when Plastic production has sharply increased over the last 70 years. In 1950, the world produced just two million tonnes. It now produces over 450 million tonnes. Plastic has added much value to our lives: it’s a cheap, versatile, and sterile material used in various applications, including construction, home appliances, medical instruments, and food packaging. However, when How much plastic is produced across the world? If we continue with „business as usual,“ how much plastic will our earth be saddled with by 2060?

Photo by collab_media on Envato Plastic pollution remains a major environmental challenge worldwide, with countries contributing at vastly different levels. Understanding the latest statistics on plastic production and waste management is essential to creating effective, region-specific solutions. Global plastic production and waste generation As of 2025, global

Humanity produces more than 400 million tonnes of plastic each year, much of which ends up in the environment. Throughout 2024, UNEP led a global movement to end this plastic pollution, which is a mounting threat to human and planetary health. Looking for plastic waste facts, figures & statistics? Here’s fast Facts 2023 the latest data on consumption, production, environmental pollution and more. Plastics – the fast Facts 2023 Plastics – the fast Facts shows preliminary global and European plastics production data. It also provides European plastics industry’s key economic figures, trade balance, top trade partners, and

By identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and additives, we present the first global analysis of all mass-produced plastics ever manufactured. We estimate that 8300 million metric tons (Mt) as of virgin plastics have been produced to date. While plastics are extremely useful materials for modern society, plastics production and waste generation continue to increase with worsening environmental impacts despite international, national and local policy responses, as well as industry commitments. The first of two reports, this Outlook intends to inform and support policy efforts to combat plastic leakage. Global Plastics Market Size The global plastics market size was valued at USD 533.14 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 845.69 billion by 2033 from USD 561.18 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.26%. In 2023, global plastic production reached approximately 413.8 million metric tons with China accounting for 33% of this output. The

Plastics production in Europe totaled ** million metric tons in 2023, a decrease of nearly *** million metric tons from the previous year. The revised draft global plastics treaty will be discussed at the 4 th meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, which will be held in Ottawa from 23 to 29 April 2024. A key area of discussion will be where in the plastics life cycle the treaty should focus interventions to reduce plastic pollution. There are two broad approaches. To prevent the
