Summary
| Description |
English: The graph emphasizes how the reliance on synthetic fibers, particularly polyester, plays a substantial role in global plastic pollution. It visually breaks down plastic waste by region and country, highlighting the disparity in contributions across different areas, with some regions producing significantly more polymer-based waste than others. This regional breakdown underscores not only the global imbalance but also how certain countries, often with larger manufacturing sectors, contribute disproportionately to plastic pollution.
