3. FAST FACTS ON PLASTIC BAGS
 Over 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year worldwide.
 China consumes 3 billion plastic bags daily.
 About 1 million plastic bags are used every minute.
 A plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade.
 Only 1 in 200 plastic bags in the UK are recycled .
 Every square mile of ocean has about 46,000 pieces of
plastic floating in it.

4. THE PROBLEM
• An estimated 6 billion plastic bags are
consumed.
• The average family accumulates 60
plastic bags.
• An estimated 3,960,000 tons of plastic
bags, sack and wraps were produced
in 2008. Of those, 3,570,000 tons
(90%) were discarded. This is almost
triple the amount discarded the first
year plastic bag numbers were
tracked (1,230,000 tons in 1980).
• Anywhere from .5% to 3% of all bags
winds up recycled.
• Ten percent of the plastic produced
every year worldwide winds up in the
ocean.
