It all started at the beginning of the pandemic when we paused to think about the adverse effects of climate change on our planet.

Plastic, most of which does not decompose, is a significant driver of climate change. Every day millions of plastic bottles are sold and discarded around the world, often failing to be recycled and instead sent to landfill or left to make their way towards rivers and waterways destined for the sea

The manufacture of four plastic bottles alone releases the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of driving one mile in a car, according to the World Economic Forum, based on a study by the drinks industry. The United States burns six times more plastic than it recycles, according to research in April 2019 by Jan Dell, a chemical engineer and former vice chair of the U.S. Federal climate committee.

But the coronavirus has accentuated a trend to create more, not less, plastic trash.
