Taking steps towards solving human waste pollution
The leakage of litter to nature, especially plastic waste, is a worldwide problem. According to the data from OECD, 22% of the 35.3 million tons of plastic waste, i.e. 8.2 million tons of the plastic waste, was mismanaged in 2019. It is believed that the waste entered the environment through unmanaged waste systems such as uncontrolled dumpsites or open pits where wastes were burnt. To solve this major problem, it is important to collect the leaked plastic waste on a regular basis.
How is litter picking
related to the SDGs?
Litter picking leads to achieving the 14th, 11th, and 12th goals of the SDGs.
Preventing plastic waste from leaking into the ocean
The magnitude of the marine plastic pollution problem has become clearer in recent years, bringing a sense of urgency. Littering has been identified as a major source of this plastic runoff. It is important to collect plastic waste while it is still on land as the task gains in complexity once the plastic spills into the ocean via rivers, etc.
Help keep cities beautiful and maintain order
Urban littering degrades quality of living from aesthetic and hygienic standpoints. Furthermore, there are studies that suggest that leaving urban waste unattended may lead to deterioration of public safety. It is important to frequently pick up urban litter, even in small quantities, to keep cities pleasant and safe.
Recycle resources and avoid waste
Urban litter includes a great number of things that should have been recycled, such as cans, plastic bottles, plastic film, etc. By returning these materials to the recycling process and processing them appropriately, we can help achieve "sustainable production and consumption."
