Global Plastic Waste Surge

Studies indicate that over 52 million tons of plastic waste remain unmanaged or unrecycled each year, being dumped into the environment or burned indiscriminately, which causes widespread pollution and health and environmental risks. India ranks as the top contributor to unmanaged plastic pollution, while China has seen a reduction in waste volume thanks to efforts to improve waste management. The ongoing crisis leads to indirect economic costs on sectors such as health, tourism, and food security, with calls for the adoption of comprehensive policies and the development of recycling systems to address these challenges.
