Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem, with billions of tons of plastic waste generated each year. It is non-biodegradable and takes hundreds of years to be degraded.
On the occasion of the first International Zero Waste Day, António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, called on the General Assembly of countries to launch a war against waste.
The advancement of a report to be published later this year shows that unless the measures against plastic are resounding, this type of contamination will reach worrying levels in the next three decades.
