In today's world, plastics are everywhere—from packaging and household items to clothing. In fact, many everyday products like food containers, water bottles, and even personal care items are heavily infused with plastic materials. Each year, we produce over 400 million tons of plastic globally, with 9 million tons ending up in landfills. The fashion industry also contributes significantly, producing textiles infused with plastics, with over 90 million tons disposed of annually. Alarming amounts of plastic particles are consumed daily, not only by humans but also by land and sea animals, adding to the environmental burden.
