(cctv finance "world finance")according to afp, canada is one of the countries in the world that produces the most plastic waste per capita. recently, the country's marine biologists spontaneously organized themselves to go to some marine protected areas to clean up plastic waste.
recently, in a marine protected area in quebec, canada, marine biologists dived into the water to clean up plastic waste. they hope to track and study the status of plastic pollution in nearby waters in this way, while raising people's environmental awareness and reducing pollution from the source.
martel, project manager of a canadian environmental protection organization:the most common ones are cigarette butts, which can be said to be everywhere, and the amount of plastic waste from the fast food industry accounts for the largest proportion.
data previously released by the oecd show that over the past 20 years, the global annual production of plastic products has more than doubled to 460 million tons, and the total amount of plastic waste has almost doubled to more than 350 million tons, of which less than 10% is recycled. in canada, millions of tons of plastic waste are generated every year, more than 90% of which ends up in landfills or incineration, and only 7% is recycled. in order to curb plastic pollution, the canadian government has previously announced a ban on the use of some disposable plastic products, with the goal of achieving zero plastic waste by 2030.
