Comment on How much plastic waste do we create? by Polythene Pam

Thanks for dropping by and reblogging. I will be adding more awful statistics as I find them! Yes, even if developing countries do produce less plastic waste, and as you say that is hard to confirm, they also have less resources to deal with it so plastic pollution is far more evident. Very very sad.

Reblogged this on Mindwanderer's Weblog and commented: How much plastic waste is created annually ? It's insane.

Most governments in third world countries don’t know how much garbage is created daily. We are trying to get some sense into one African economy: So far the questions have not been answered as to how much Plastic waste is actually produced each day. I have been given a figure in-comprehensive.
Total waste combined has been named as 1,200 tons a day, or 36 tons a month, out of which 5.6 % supposedly is made of combined plastic ( 3 layer BOPP sachets, PET bottles, HM, HDPE, LDPE, and PVC.
If this figure is accurate ( which I doubt ) then we have an annual plastic waste generation of 2,016 MT a month.
This figure is very doubtful.
There is no effective waste management in place, and as such most of the plastic bags end up washed up on beaches.. A horrible sight on the Island.
It seems that we are doomed.

Check out my new blog: http://fighttheplasticbagban.com/

On my blog I have a downloads menu item. If you click on that there are a number of papers that I have written that can be downloaded.

One paper titled “Negative Health and Environmental Impacts of Reusable Shopping Bags” deals with the health issues more extensively than you did in the article above. For example, in addition to bacteria, viruses and virus transmission with reusable shopping bags could make other sick. Also, people who have AIDS or a suppressed immune system may be more sensitive to bacteria in reusable bags then people who have normal immune systems. About 20% of the population fit in this category.

Also, when bag bans are implemented people always complain about all those plastic bags that end up in the landfill. But they have never stopped to calculate all the stuff going into a landfill after a plastic carryout bag ban compared to before. It would surprise you to know that 3 to 4 times the amount of material goes into the landfill post ban than pre ban. Those plastic carryout bags are sure looking good. see my article titled “Fact Sheet – Landfill Impacts” for the details and the calculations.

There is much more.
