Antigua and Barbuda, Norway and the Maldives will launch the new Group of Friends to Combat Plastic Pollution on World Ocean Day, 8 June 2020.
Plastic production has skyrocketed, going from 2 million metric tons in 1950 to 380 million metric tons in 2015 and is expected to further triple in the next two decades.
The numerous properties of plastics - lightweight, low cost, easily shaped, protection against contamination, and durability to withstand transportation and long-term storage – along with its use in a wide array of applications, has led to this explosive growth in production.
