Why we need to act
Currently, over 50 trillion pieces of plastic are in the ocean. They float around and end up forming garbage patches. (UNESCO, 2022)

How to create value
Only 9% of plastic waste is recycled worldwide. The rest is either incinerated or ends up in our oceans and environment. (OECD, 2022)
