Extra Info Plastic Bag Facts
- Australians use 3.92 billion plastic bags a year, that's over 10 million new bags being used every day
- An estimated 3.76 billion bags are disposed of in landfill sites throughout Australia every year
- Australians dump 7,150 recyclable plastic bags into landfills every minute or 429,000 bags every hour
- It is estimated that around 50 million bags enter the Australian litter stream every year. Unless they are collected, they remain in the environment and accumulate at a staggering rate. If these 50 million plastic bags were made into a single plastic sheet, it would be big enough to cover the Melbourne CBD
- Australians are the second highest producers of waste, per person, in the world with each of us sending over 690 kilograms of waste to landfill each year (the United States is the highest waste producer). On average, all Australian capital cities will reach their present landfill capacity by 2010
- Many thousands of marine mammals and seabirds die every year around the world as a result of plastic litter. When the animal dies and decays the plastic is free again to repeat the deadly cycle. There are 2 major reasons that plastic bags are particularly problematic in the litter stream:
1. They last from 20 - 1 000 years 2. They escape and float easily in air and water, travelling long distances
- Currently, only 3% per cent of plastic bags used in Australia are recycled.
