Did you know that 9-14 million tonnes of plastic ended up in oceans by 2016, forming 60-90 per cent of marine litter, and the number is expected to triple by 2040?

Almost miniscule segregation at source sending all plastic to landfill sites, low recycling rates and no control over what flows down the nullahs into the rivers, which goes straight into the oceans.
