Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually, much of it single-use, posing significant threats to ecosystems, wildlife, and human health.
Advancements like bioplastics from renewable materials and chemical recycling techniques are transforming plastic waste into reusable resources, promoting a circular economy.
Governments play a crucial role by enforcing regulations on single-use plastics, promoting alternatives, and investing in waste management infrastructure to drive significant change.
Individuals can contribute by repurposing plastic waste into DIY projects, participating in community recycling drives, and supporting initiatives like PolyNext 2025 to foster sustainable practices.
