5 Countries that Produce the Most Plastic Waste

1. India

Mismanaged Plastic Waste (MPW) Created in 2021 (in tons): 13 million

MPW Created in 2016 (in tons): 26.3 million

The history of plastic waste in India can be traced back to the 1950s, when the country began producing and using plastic products. As the plastic industry in India grew, so did the volume of plastic waste it generated. In the past, much of India’s plastic waste was not properly managed and ended up in landfills, streets, and waterways.

In recent years, the Indian government has made efforts to address the problem of plastic waste in the country. Some of these efforts include implementing bans on certain single-use plastics, increasing recycling efforts, and investing in waste management infrastructure. However, the problem of plastic waste in India remains significant and continues to pose a challenge to the country and the world.
