Plastic consumption has been steadily increasing globally, closely tracking the worldwide GDP growth rate. Approximately 460 million tonnes of plastics are introduced into the market each year, while about 360 million tonnes of plastic waste are generated annually. This surge in plastic waste poses a significant global environmental challenge, given that 70% of this waste remains uncollected, leaks into the environment, is dumped in landfills or openly burned.
