CU Later, 2024: Why it’s time to leave plastic pipes in the past
|
In 2024, an estimated 220 million tonnes of plastic waste was generated globally – equivalent to 28kg per person. Of that waste, approximately a third (69.5 million tonnes) was mismanaged, ending up in the natural environment. Meanwhile, the global plastic pipe industry continues to expand at an exponential rate and is projected to reach a staggering $147.2 billion by 2030 due to growing demand in the construction industry. |
