Infographic illustration depicting the future of plastic waste. If current trends in plastic production and waste management continue as they are, by 2050 there will be over 33 billion tons of accumulated plastic waste (since 1950). Roughly 12 billion tons will end up in landfill, another 12 billion tons will be incinerated while only 8.5 billion tons will be recycled., by VISUAL CAPITALIST/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
