HumanHow much plastic waste is produced every day? According to the survey, an American needs to consume mineral water bottles every day2One, yogurt bottle1One, coffee cup1One, plastic straw2Root, bread sub-bag4Product packaging bag2, catering packing box3, express packaging3A. On average, an American discards about185Pounds of plastic. The United States uses about every year.5000Billions of plastic bags and350Billion of plastic water bottles.

Although China is a developing country, the US group consumes more than one day.900010,000 disposable plastic lunch boxes/Cup.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme2021The report released in,1950Year2017During the year, the cumulative global production of approximately92Tons of plastic, including70Billions of tons of plastic waste, recycling rate is insufficient10%.2010Year to now, every year4The production of hundreds of millions of tons of plastic products. Only2015Year a year of global production.3.2billion tons of plastic, but more91%The plastic is not recycled.

According to the European Plastics Manufacturers Association,2015Year2020During the year, global plastic production and consumption averaged over2%The rate of growth, a study found that each year into the ocean more than plastic waste1100Ten thousand tons, equivalent to a truckload of plastic waste ending up in the sea every minute.80%Ocean plastic comes from the coast50Within kilometers. The value of disposable plastic discarded each year800Billions of dollars.

Expected2035Annual plastic production will double2050Annual production will triple2050Cumulative global plastic production will grow340billion tons. To2050The annual weight of ocean plastic waste will exceed the total weight of fish.

Shanghai's white-collar Southern Weekend reporter estimates that a tree can absorb and store it every year.4-18kgThe routine calculation of carbon dioxide, if the weekly order of takeout (6-14Second) the carbon emissions generated may take a tree a year to absorb.

But in the ocean, plastic is impossible to remove and causes great damage to the environment. A recent study by researchers at the University of Manchester shows that the vast majority of plastic sinks to the bottom of the sea.becomeTinyParticlesIt is getting further and further away from our sight and mastery. Plastic particles usually refer to the diameter50To500Micron tiny particles, which are invisible to our naked eyes, can enter our body quietly in a variety of ways.2018Another report released by the United Nations Environment Programme pointed out that plastic floating on the sea and stranded on the beach would physically degrade into microplastic particles under the wind and sun, which would flow into the marine biosphere and be ingested by some marine organisms. Many of the fish in the ocean have plastic particles, even fruits and vegetables, which are not completely green, contain plastic particles. Scientists have found human plastic waste in the Mariana Trench, which is tens of thousands of meters deep.

In2018A report presented at the European Society of Digestive Medicine's Gastroenterology Academic Conference in 2010 said that microplastics had been found in human fecal samples for the first time. Some studies have linked it to widespread plastic pollution and health problems. They believe that humans are exposed to microplastics through multiple pathways, including ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Ingestion is associated with risks of gastrointestinal problems, infections and toxins, as microplastics are known to absorb pollutants from the surrounding environment. Inhalation is associated with the risk of respiratory diseases such as asthma, and skin absorption can lead to irritation and infection.

University of Exeter2019A study conducted in found that people who consumed shellfish and sea salt each week were on average exposed40000Multiple microplastic particles. The study also found that, on average, those who ate sea salt and fish consumed weekly11000particles, while those who ate only seafood consumed about4000particles.

For enterprises, Nike, BYD, Huawei and other enterprises are advocating the use of renewable environmental protection materials. IKEAare also activeExploring how ocean plastics are used. IKEA"Ocean is my home" design concept launched a newBLVINGDFor the first time, the Blovanger Marine series uses waste marine plastic to make goods, creating pillows, bedding, dolls, backpacks and storage bags.

　　We as IKEAOur suppliers have been working to recycle marine plastics and prevent them from ending up in the ocean. For recycled raw material enterprises, every ton of waste plastics recycled can produce recycled plastics.800kg, energy saving 80%, saving 2 tons of coal, equivalent to saving about 117 barrels of oil, reducing carbon emissions of about 0.5 tons.

IKEASuppliersAs a leading enterprise of renewable raw materials in Guangdong, Yujie has been committed to the recycling of marine plastics to prevent plastics from eventually flowing into the ocean. Utsei says plastic is a resource, not a problem. They use a more environmentally friendly production process compared to manufacturing using newly manufactured plastics. For recycled raw material enterprises, every ton of waste plastics recycled can produce recycled plastics.800Kilogram, energy saving80%, saving coal2tons, equivalent to saving about oil117barrels, reducing carbon emissions by about0.5Tons. In2025The annual output of Yujie environmental protection recycling materials reached30000tons, including those containing up100%Recycled plastic materials can reduce carbon emissions11200Tons.
