Abstract
The initiative aims to create a plastic-pollution-free planet by 2040. The brochure highlights the problem of ocean plastic pollution, stating that every minute, a garbage truck's worth of plastic enters the world's oceans, threatening marine ecosystems, global industries, food security, and human health. It also outlines the solution, which involves working with local governments to reduce waste and improve waste management and recycling systems. The brochure presents statistics on the initiative's impact, including the number of people benefiting from improved waste systems, plastic bottles prevented from leaking into the environment, and private sector funding commitments. It also lists the geographic scope of the initiative, which includes countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
