Social / Visual Impacts
In low-developed countries the social impact is notable. Garbage clogs manholes and ditches, which causes flooding and leaves familiesdesolate.
The number of particles in the seas is greater than that of stars in our galaxy
Only 9% of all waste produced annually is recycled
The human being is eating about 1 plastic credit card per week
Plastic is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 marine animals every year
Of the nearly 9 billion tonnes already produced of polymers:
Only 600 million tons were recycled
800 million went to incineration - A process that throws tons of heavy metals into the atmosphere in a gaseous state that moments later fall back into the environment in a solid state, which contaminates sheets water , plants and animals.
4.9 Billion tonnes accumulate in landfills and in nature
