"International Plastic Day aims to raise awareness of the world's harmful
relationship with plastic and our struggles to adequately recycle it.
28 July is significant because it averages out every country in the world’s
plastic management progress, calculating how much plastic they recycle compared
with how much is ‘wasted’ or dumped.
Some are able to process much more plastic than others.
Denmark’s ‘overshoot day’ is 26 December because it is good at managing plastic
waste. There are only four days where plastic is wasted in relation to the
nation’s capacity to recycle it.
Nigeria’s ‘offshoot day’ is 3 January, meaning that for the rest of the year,
plastic is simply not recycled or managed and will often be dumped into the
environment."
