Shop with reusable bags. 100,000 marine animals are killed by plastic bags each year. Switch to reusables to reduce your overall waste and keep sealife from harm.

Reuse refers to the transformation of the ‘throwaway economy’ to a ‘reuse society’ where reusing products and refilling them makes more economic sense than throwing them away.

Human appetite for plastics continues to grow at an alarming rate, as unsustainable as it is unnecessary. This year alone, the world is projected to consume more than half a billion tons of plastic — a nearly 30% jump in just 12 months. Even in the best-case scenario, only one-fifth of that waste is economically recyclable, whereas in reality less than one-tenth is recycled.

Recycle. A recent report from the nonprofit Beyond Plastics found that the recycling rate for plastics in the United States in 2021 was down to about 6 percent.

To effectively combat plastic pollution, a multifaceted approach is needed, including reducing unnecessary plastic, finding sustainable alternatives, improving recycling infrastructure, and implementing policies that promote circular economy principles. This requires collaboration between governments, businesses, and individuals.
