Bagasse vs. Plastic

° Plastic is not biodegradable and does not go away. Every piece of plastic ever made still exists today.

° 90% of the world’s seabirds have fragments of plastic in their stomachs.

° Only 9% of plastics are recycled around the world.

° It will take hundreds of years for a single piece of plastic to break down, and then it will turn into toxic and dangerous microplastic.

° 80% of ocean’s plastics originates on land. Then it enters our oceans through rivers and streams.

° 96% of all biodiversity potentially ingests plastics.

° The animals most vulnerable to the toxic effects of plastic contamination are those at the very top of the food chain – HUMANS!

° Avoiding plastic is a better solution than recycling, as plastic recycling is also carbon-intensive
