Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this number come from?
Plastikatlas 2024 (Heinrich Böll Stiftung), OECD Global Plastic Outlook 2023. Per-capita plastic waste: Germany 220 kg/yr, EU 175 kg/yr, US 130 kg/yr. Of this, ~16% is truly recycled. ~10% leaks into the environment globally.
Why is so little plastic actually recycled?
Three reasons: (1) Most plastic types are technically recyclable but economically unviable. (2) Mixed plastics, food contamination, multi-layer packaging often can't be processed. (3) "Recycling" is often downcycling (1-2 cycles before landfill) or thermal recovery (= burning). True circular plastic recycling = <12% globally.
Why does plastic ending up in the ocean matter?
Microplastics break down but never disappear. Found in: human blood, breast milk, placentas, mountain snow, deep ocean trenches. Fish ingest microplastics, humans eat fish. The fraction that escapes from your country's waste system is the fraction that re-enters your body — and your children's.
How can I reduce my plastic burden?
High-impact: (1) Refill stations (water bottles, soap, shampoo) -30%. (2) Bulk-buy dry goods (rice, oats, pasta) -15%. (3) Avoid single-use takeaway -20%. (4) Choose glass/aluminum over plastic -10%. Combined: cut your plastic burden by 60-70%.
