bulb for 30 hours.
• 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space is saved for every ton of plastic that
is recycled
• Plasticstake around 500 to 1000 years to completely degrade due
to the presence of complex polymers.
• Currently, India generates around 56 lakh tonnes of plastic waste
annually
• Scientists
estimate that every square mile of oceans contains about
46,000 pieces of floating plastic
