India Tops Global Plastic Waste Generation with 10.2 Million Tonnes Annually, Study Finds | Top News

India is at the forefront of global plastic waste production, generating 10.2 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, according to a recent study by Leeds University. This accounts for a significant portion of the 57 million tonnes produced worldwide. The study highlights that two-thirds of global plastic pollution originates from the Global South, with much of this waste remaining uncollected and unmanaged. Addressing this issue is critical, as effective waste management practices are essential to combat the escalating plastic pollution crisis.
