Since the 1950s, plastic has been used by humanity on an exponential scale. Nine million people work in the plastics industry globally today, and although single-use plastics are inexpensive and lightweight, they come with serious dangers to the economy, environment, and public health.
In recent years, the worldwide plastic pollution disaster has changed from being a social sustainability concern to a major environmental issue. Our ocean is thought to contain between 75 and 199 billion kg of plastic debris, and its quantity is rising dangerously quickly. Because plastic particles can end up in our food supply, the plastic problem has an impact on both human health and marine life.
Poverty is another urgent problem that humanity is currently confronting. Eight percent of the world's population, according to a World Bank Group report, lives in extreme poverty and makes do on US$2.19 per day. In the meantime, 23% of people survive on less than $3.65 per day and 47% on less than $6.852. Since 1990, we have come a long way in eradicating poverty, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impeded our progress.
Poverty and plastic pollution might not seem like they have much in common at first. That, however, is not the case; on the contrary, comprehending the interconnections between these problems is crucial to building a future of social sustainability for our world.
Plastic Bank is working to resolve this challenging issue. The social fintech startup Plastic Bank oversees a global bottle deposit program that lowers plastic pollution and aids in the eradication of poverty.
