"We recycle about 10% of plastics. We need to work with businesses to change their production models to produce sustainable packaging that can easily be recycled & taken back as feedstock for the next production cycle," Henry Munyao, @WWF_Kenya.

Every year, over 430 million tonnes of plastic are produced, with 2/3 becoming short-lived waste. Microplastics, less than 5mm in diameter, seep into our oceans, causing harm to aquatic life and human health.

Urgent action is needed to stem this tide of plastic pollution.

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

Reuse is a powerful solution to combat plastic pollution by minimizing the demand for new plastic production and reducing the amount of plastic waste generated.
