The Effect of Waste on You and Your Environment
Globally, waste generation is on the rise. According to UN, in 2016, the world’s cities generated 2.01 billion tonnes of solid waste, equivalent to a footprint of 0.74 kilogrammes per person per day. With rapid population growth and urbanisation, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tonnes in 2050.
