Did you know that plastic production is still rising, and is estimated to keep rising for the forseeable future?
It has been estimated that around 380 million metric tons of plastic are produced worldwide every year, with China one of the leading producers of plastic, generating a significant amount due to its large manufacturing sector and population. However, other countries like the United States, India, and European nations also contribute substantially to global plastic production. The exact ranking can vary from year to year based on factors such as industrial activity, consumption patterns, and waste management practices.
