Every year on June 5th, the world comes together to celebrate World Environment Day, a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on pressing environmental issues. In 2025, the theme “Beat Plastic Pollution” urges individuals, businesses, and governments to rethink how we produce, consume, and manage plastic waste.

The Plastic Problem
Plastic pollution continues to be a major environmental concern. Each year, over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced, with a large amount ultimately ending up in landfills, oceans, and natural ecosystems—harming wildlife, polluting food chains, and exacerbating climate change.

As global awareness of the consequences of unsustainable plastic use grows, the need for a fundamental shift in how we source, use, and recycle materials has become urgent and unavoidable.
