Why take action on plastic waste?
It’s polluting our oceans
Between 11-14 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year, most of it because it is not properly managed.
Very little gets recycled
Only 9% of plastic waste globally gets recycled. Half of the world's waste is sent to landfill and 1/5 is mismanaged.
It impacts our climate
Open burning of waste generates the equivalent of 2–10% of global CO2Eq emissions.
This is approximately equivalent to:
3,189t
greenhouse gas emissions (ghg equivalent) saved
2.3 billion
grocery bags (6g)
1,000,000
car tyres 9.5kg
79
blue whales 140,000kg

Support plastic waste collection to have immediate impact on cleaner oceans
Without CleanHub
More than two billion people worldwide lack access to waste management services (UN, 2024). Without these facilities, waste is often burned in open environments, dumped or discarded in nature, finding its way to the ocean.
With CleanHub
Plastic waste is collected from households, communities, and nature, preventing it from reaching the ocean or ending up in landfill. The waste is sorted and either recycled or used as alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas.
Select your plan
We work with communities long-term. That’s why a monthly subscription is the best way to support this work and establish proper waste management.
