Since 2021, the total amount of plastic waste has risen by 7.11 per cent. The report warns that one third of plastic waste will be mismanaged at the end of its lifecycle, leading to 69.5 million tonnes of plastic entering the environment. It also identifies 12 countries that are responsible for 60 per cent of the world\u2019s mismanaged waste, with the top five being China, Russian Federation, India, Brazil, and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, 66 per cent of the global population now live in areas where plastic waste already exceeded their waste management capabilities. This year\u2019s analysis includes plastic waste from the textile industry and household waste, which was not included in the 2023 report. If the revised scope had been used last year, Plastic Overshoot Day would have landed on 4 September, indicating that there is only a one day improvement.<\/p>\n<p>The year\u2019s Plastic Overshoot Day arrives ahead of UN negotiations in November, where global leaders will work towards an international legally binding treaty on plastic pollution. These talks, set to take place in Busan, South Korea, aim to create the first global plastic production and pollution regulations. Goals of the treaty include reducing plastic production, banning specific chemicals, and establishing recycling targets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/plastic-overshoot-day-arrives-amid-estimate-220m-tonnes-will-be-waste-generated-2024\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-587\/\">Plastic Overshoot Day arrives, amid estimate that 220M tonnes will be waste generated in 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,16001,761],"class_list":["post-133569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-overshoot-day","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133569\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
