The environmental pollution caused by current garbage disposal methods is staggering. To prevent water contamination from landfill leakage, governments must invest substantial manpower and financial resources—yet even with these efforts, complete prevention cannot be guaranteed.
Unsustainable Development
Unsustainable Development
Plastic waste has become uncontrollable. Countless types of plastic food packaging are produced continuously, and although many companies claim to recycle and reuse them, the actual scale and effectiveness of these efforts remain limited. Many toxic plastics have already broken down and entered the food chain. The vast expanses of floating garbage in the oceans have devastated both the environment and natural landscapes.
Escalating Costs of Public Resources
Escalating Costs of Public Resources
According to statistics from the United Nations and the Solid Waste Association, from 2020 to 2050, global solid waste is projected to rise sharply due to economic growth and the production of unsustainable consumer goods—from 210 million tons (2.1 billion kg) to 380 million tons (3.8 billion kg) per year, an increase of 56% within a single generation. Furthermore, the proportion of recyclables is expected to decline slightly from 0.31% to 0.29%, indicating virtually no progress over the next 30 years.
