According to the survey of the United Nations Environment Programme (data in 2019), at least 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean every year. These plastic wastes can not be completely degraded for hundreds of years, causing serious damage to the global marine ecosystem. According to statistics, only 9% of waste plastics in the world are recycled.

Young people who are more environmentally conscious than older consumers will be the main driving force behind this trend.
