The Global Plastic Recycling Rate metric measures the percentage of total plastic waste that is recycled on a global scale each year. This metric is significant because it provides insight into the effectiveness of global waste management strategies, particularly in mitigating the environmental impact of plastic waste. A higher recycling rate is generally viewed as a positive indicator of sustainable waste management and can reflect increased public awareness and commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of plastic waste.
*Green marked and victorious, this year’s emissions left the previous year in the dust, ushering in a brighter future for our planet.
