Only 7.2% of used materials are cycled back into our economies after use. This has a huge burden on the environment and contributes to the climate, biodiversity & pollution crises.
The solution? Embracing circular economy. https://t.co/8HNOjSYkTz

Tackling waste pollution starts with understanding it. Our 'Waste Pollution 101' page breaks down the types, impacts, and solutions for managing waste effectively. The time to #BeatWastePollution is now:
The #ClimateCrisis is not just an environmental issue, it's a ticking time bomb for our health!🔥From extreme heatwaves to worsening air quality, the impacts are undeniable. We need to prioritize the health of our planet and future generations. #ActOnClimate#WorldHealthDay
The climate crisis is a time bomb for public health. It threatens to exacerbate existing health inequalities, with marginalized communities bearing the brunt of its consequences. We must prioritize equitable solutions that protect the health of all. #WorldHealthDay
Every year, humanity produces 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste, furthering the destruction of the planet, our only home.
From improving waste collection to rethinking production & consumption, it's time to #BeatWastePollution.

1/2 of the plastic we use annually is a single-use item with an avg lifespan of 12-15 min.
But it can take anywhere from 400 yrs to over 1,000 yrs to disintegrate.
This #ZeroWasteDay, here are 20 ways to plastic-proof your future & #BeatPlasticPollution: https://t.co/09eJsyYGKN
Plastic waste is all around us affecting our 🌎 & human health.
Waste pickers are on the frontline, risking their lives to keep our environment clean.
On #ZeroWasteDay, see how Safai Saathis, the backbone of India's waste management system, are helping to #BeatPlasticPollution.
We generate 2+ billion tonnes of municipal waste a year.
Unsustainable consumption and production drives climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution.
International #ZeroWasteDay reminds us that we must move beyond this waste era and turn rubbish into resources. My message⤵️
♻️ Only 9% of all the plastic waste generated globally is recycled
🌿 79% ends up in landfills or in nature
🔥 12% is incinerated
Why aren’t we recycling more plastic?
