  2. There must be some heavy greenwashing going on for the Japanese stats, their society is addicted to single use plastics in all sorts of forms.

  3. I would have definitely put the USA in front of Belgium or the Netherlands.

  4. Idfk why this image of a 2019 study that was published in 2021 is going around now, but these stats are most likely outdated already, 5 years is a pretty big timeframe for this kind of thing as legislation and manufacturers keep updating their packages all the time

  6. Nah, this can’t be right. So many Asian countries are addicted to it. Imagine a pack of Haribo where each sweet is individually wrapped, it’s that bad.

  8. Thes title is completely misleading, here is the right one:

    Top 20 countries by plastic waste per capita

  11. Surprised Japan is so low…they had packaged peeled oranges ffs !

  13. if you still drink water from plastic bottles in 2024 you are a part of the problem, recycling is not as environmentally effective as people claim, and why would you want microplastics in your balls anyway

  15. Sorry to say but it looks like a list of progressive idiots

    European union banned plastic dishes and out of nowhere there are wooden dishes.

    Plastic consumption seems like unhealthy OldStyle for me.

  17. Yet another data point provoking that singapore is a dysfunctional failed state. Basically the Somalia of southeast Asia

    (God bless you if you can’t decide whether or not I’m joking)

  18. In Denmark we just have single use straw for drinks made out of steel… much better and environmental friendly /s

  20. Kinda sad to see that my country isnt on there, because I thought that we used much single use plastic…

  21. Australia second? Doing my holiday working visa in 2018 and I remember there was this whole campaign about saving the turtles from plastic and that kind of agenda. Working in a bar and dining out, there were always paper straws which I hated but just had to accept

  22. Do we know if any of these countries produce Bioplastic instead of the bad kind?, i’m not sure the netherlands would produce this much waste, i would like to be proven right afcourse

  23. How? Just…how? Almost all of our goods are imported, so it’s not like we have some extra-special wasteful packaging or something.
    The only 2 things I can think of are grave candles (IIRC we’re like #1 on those per capita globally), and carbonated water bottles (one could argue people in our countryside drink more of it than Germans).

  25. My fellow Americans, we have to get our rookie numbers up! 🇺🇸#1!! Pew pew!
