    A UNEP report found that shifting to a circular economy for plastics could reduce global plastic pollution by 80%, as current plastic production totals 430 million metric tons annually. A Greenpeace report also found that recycled plastics contain high levels of chemicals and the recycling process releases persistent, carcinogenic compounds. The Indian government plans to launch one-stop centers under its Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban 2.0 for citizens to deposit unused plastic, clothes, shoes, and toys to reduce waste, as a WMO report predicts the global average temperature could rise to 1.5°C by 2027 due to climate change.
