How plastic is damaging planet Earth Every minute.One garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our oceans. There are 500 times more pieces of microplastic in the sea than there are stars in our galaxy. By 2050 it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish. Since the 1950s we have produced an estimated 8.3 billion metric tonnes of the stuff. Some 79 per cent of the plastic produced over the last 70 years has been thrown away, either into landfill sites or into the general environment. In 2015, over 320 million tons of polymers, excluding fibers, were manufactured across the globe. One million plastic drinks bottles are purchased every minute globally. 500 billion disposable plastic bags are used worldwide every year, says the United Nations. We're Now (Globally) One Million Plastic Bottles Per Minute - 91% Of Which Are Not Recycled. It is estimated that by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
