Plastic Facts

In Canada, only 9% of plastic is recycled

1 worth of dump truck of plastic waste enters our oceans every minute.  

​

25% of plastic globally is burned. This creates toxic chemicals. 

​

Canada reports that $8 billion dollars worth of valuable plastic resources ends up in landfills each year. 

​

The effects of this pollution affects everything from fisheries and agriculture, to tourism, and biodiversity.
