Plastic waste in Europe is a far from recycling targets
Every year, EU citizens generate 26 million tonnes of plastic waste: 39% ends up in the incinerator, 31% in landfills and only 30% is collected for recycling. It is unlikely that the EU will be able to recycle 50% of plastic packaging by 2025 and 55% by 2030, as envisaged in the Commission’s 2018 strategy.- awareness

A Kenyan engineer and entrepreneur turns plastic waste into strong building material
A young Kenyan engineer and entrepreneur has founded a company in Nairobi to turn plastic destined for the landfill into sustainable, strong building material, using the plastic waste of commercial facilities to create bricks that can withstand twice the weight threshold of concrete. The factory is only in its beginning stages, but it has already recycled 20 tons of plastic since 2017 and created 120 jobs in Nairobi. In addition, the bricks are also one of the more affordable options on the market.

Disposable plastic is a huge threat to the health of the planet
A problem that not only concerns the health of the fauna, but also ours. Plastic, which ends up in the food chain, puts commercial fishing and aquaculture at risk. A significant risk for 1.4 billion people for which fish is one of the main sources of protein. 80% of the waste consists of plastic.- animal welfare

Annual human production of objects exceeds 30 billion tonnes
Since a century the anthropogenic mass doubles on average every 20 years. Since the '50s of the last century there has been a strong acceleration, which has become dizzying since the beginning of the third millennium. For each living human being, the mass of objects produced is more than its own body weight.- agriculture
