Which Sector Produce The Most Plastic Waste?

The chart above shows the use of primary plastics by sector; in the chart we show these same sectors in terms of plastic waste generation. Plastic waste generation is strongly influenced by primary plastic use, but also the product lifetime.

Packaging, for example, has a very short ‘in-use’ lifetime (typically around 6 months or less). This is in contrast to building and construction, where plastic use has a mean lifetime of 35 years.

Packaging is therefore the dominant generator of plastic waste, responsible for almost half of the global total. In 2015, primary plastics production was 407 million tonnes; around three-quarters (302 million tonnes) ended up as waste.
