The world has reached the annual point in the year when authorities and people can no longer properly manage the plastic waste produced annually, according to a new study. The report by Swiss-based research consultancy Earth Action warns today (28 July) is the point in the year where the amount of short-life plastic waste being produced annually exceeds the global capacity to manage it effectively. According to Earth Action, more than 68.5 million tonnes of short-life plastic will be mismanaged around the world and pollute the environment this year.
