A report published by research firm Statista noted that landfill levels are inconsistent across the European Union, with nearly 40% of plastic packaging in Spain ending up in landfills
.
However, despite a high percentage of plastic waste (in all industries) being sent to landfill, statistics show that the shift towards recycling and energy recovery from plastic packaging waste shows that the industry is working to reduce its commitment to landfill dependency
.
About 350 million tons of plastic are produced globally each year, compared with 1.
5 million tons in 1950
.
As a result of China's 2018 ban on the import of foreign plastic waste, nearly 111 million tons of plastic waste will be required to be disposed of elsewhere by 2030, according to a forecast by the University of Georgia
